[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything in DC that is on the yellow line is also on the green line, if that helps you.

You didn't say how old your kid was, which matters a great deal.  Also, how important to you are test scores? Is bilingual education a pro or a con? Do you want a school where students get more direction from teachers or where there is more time for unstructured play? Are you planning to enroll your child in the fall (so you need to either move in-bounds for a school or find one without a waitlist) or are you willing to enter the lottery for 2017-18 and move once you see your results?  You can look at the myschool DC website for a map of schools, but knowing which ones you might like depends on a lot more information.

If you're going to be working in Virginia, you may want to post on that board, since folks here aren't going to know as much about South Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax schools. [/quote]

I am also looking around in the NoVA area, but most schools seem to be more decently rated there. I get the impression DC schools are more uneven.

I have a 4 year, unsure about future plans for a 2nd. So I wouldn't have to have a K until the following fall (although if there is a preschool available I'll definitely take it!). I'm pretty flexibile on schools, I just want it to not be a wreck. Personally like unstructured play. I'm guess I'm a little hippyish. I'm not strongly for or against bilingual education. Prefer some diversity (I don't know if that's code for anything here, but I just mean not a homogeneous school of any type). I would be willing to move once perhaps, but I don't want to keep moving and traveling all over town. That being said, I'm not too worried about planning into middle/high school too much since expect the landscape is changing quickly these days.[/quote]
