[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in NE DC and really love our neighborhood, but our in boundary school is terrible and won't improve enough for us to even consider sending our DC when she turns five (she is 18 months right now).  I periodically "freak out" a little when I think about the school situation and whether we made a mistake moving to NE and instead should have pushed our budget to be in a good in boundary school in upper NW or should have sucked it up and moved to VA (which my DH would hate).

Does anyone else have these freak out moments?  What do others plan to do if they don't get into a good charter?  Private school?  Move to the suburbs?  Try to find a "walkable" area with good schools in MD or VA?[/quote]

Having just gone through this, I think you have a decent chance of getting into a charter or DCPS as OOB that many on this site would consider perfectly fine for pk-3 to K.  Where you are truly at the mercy of fate is getting into a charter that people on this site consider a decent path through the later elementary years, middle or high school.  Many on this site would say the only viable public middle in the entire city is Deal; seems dramatic but they would likley say you should have gone the upper NW option.  My view is that middle and high school are pretty far off, the city is evolving and more options will come up.  But that's probably the minority view on this site.  [/quote]
