[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't done it yet--my oldest is in 3rd grade. But I've thought through what we will do and I think it's something like this (we are EOTP):

1. Spring of 4th grade: lottery for first choice charter middle school. If that fails,
2. Attend 5th grade at our beloved elementary.
3. 5th grade spring: Lottery for nearby but out-of-bounds DCPS middle school, out-of-bounds but far away DCPS middle. If both of those fail,
4. Move over the summer to a house inbounds for either Deal or Hardy. Or, if that proves impossible, move to somewhere like Takoma Park. My choice would be to rent out our house on the Hill and just rent a house for the duration of middle and high school for both kids. Then, unless things change, we could move back once the kids are done with school.[/quote]

Why move to Takoma Park? For Takoma EC? Shepherd Park is blocks away and maybe a few hundred more in rent (albeit less inventory) and has Deal as IB. [/quote]

Takoma Park, MD, not Takoma, DC. And sure, we'd love to live in Shepherd Park. I'd group that in with "in-bounds for Deal."[/quote]
