[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something that's great about NE is that's where so many desirable charters are located. So you actually have a lot of options without a horrible commute.

I live in NE too, and while I know a few families who left DC I know many more pleasantly surprised by where they ended up for PK3 and also lots who were not super excited by first school but lotteried into top choices in PK4, K and even 1st.[/quote]

OP here- this may be a stupid question and probably one I can answer through googling, but if folks get into the best charter for PK3, do they leave for PK4 and those spots open up?  In other words, why should I expect spots to open up for PK4 - wouldnt PK4 be full because people get into PK3?

Another concern of mine is that even if my daughter gets into a good elementary school, will we really want to separate her from her friends to go to a different middle or high school?  It just seems like a lot of uncertainty through all of the schooling years.  I am sorry for the pessimism and really appreciate the replies so far, as hearing from other people helps ease my mind on this![/quote]

There are more spots because the class size goes up.  And some schools don't offer pk3 but do offer pk4.

You will likely get into a better school or move before middle school so I wouldn't sweat that issue.[/quote]
