[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People try all of those strategies but I would counsel you to give the neighborhood school a chance while you play the lottery a few years.  Schools can change rather quickly.  Ours was "not an option" until this year, and we're enrolling as are several friends.  It's not myour ideal but way better than paying for daycare.

Stop saying bad things about your school.  You may be going there next year, even if right now you think you won't.

Just tell us the neighborhood and school, you'll get much better advice that way.[/quote]

Title 1 schools definitely don't change quickly. That said, most of the public ghetto PreS3 programs are fine as long as you keep an open mind, and don't expect the sun, the moon and the stars. I don't anybody who has struck out on a decent K+ option if they played the lottery for several years, and were willing to move closer to a school for manageable commutes. From what I've observed in 15 years living downtown, parents who are determined to stay downtown make it work all the way to 12th grade. Those on the fence go, short of spectacular lottery luck early on.  [/quote]
