[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how far are you willing to have your kids commute?

are you open to religious schools?

what is your race, and do you mind if your child is in a very small minority?

Beers, Leckie, and Randle Highlands are among the best DCPS elementary schools east of the river. [b]There is a possibility that JBAB Bolling will get to open a charter school soon but it will give priority to military families so it's hard to say whether you'd get a seat[/b] (note: if it opens, military families will stop using Leckie and the school will change a lot).

For high school, if you have a son, Ron Brown high school may be an option later on but it's new this year so hard to say. Thurgood Marshall Academy would be my top high school choice in the area, but it doesn't really compare to the DCPS application high schools, or BASIS and Latin.

Middle school is tough. [/quote]

How will that be allowed under current charter rules?[/quote]

There are motions underway to change the rules to allow this.  Really, who is going to object to accommodating military families?[/quote]

City, DCPCSB and DOD partnering on this. All want it to happen. The once a year lottery timelines really dont work for military families who can be transferred at any time and these students often have unique social-emotional needs. [/quote]
