[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might want to check out shining stars. They are looking to expand and have a middle school, and the cohorts in the upper grades are small, so lots of attention.

That would work with the three year old as well.[/quote]

I'd second this. Your 6th grader will very likely get in and can pull the others to the top of the waitlists.  Cap City, Inspired Teaching, Creative Minds, and Two Rivers also seem like good options for this to work out. Rank based on test scores, commute, instructional model, or whatever you choose.

It's not as close by and the test scores may not be as good as some other schools, but if I recall correctly, the capitol hill cluster schools (Peabody, Watkins, Stuart-Hobson) gives sibling preference across all three schools. The schools are pretty close together and there's a free shuttle between the two elementary buildings. So getting one kid into one of those schools will lift up the other kids on their waitlists. That may not be enough to get the 3 year old a space at Peabody, but it could. You would want to check with MyschoolDC if the preference is as I think it is.[/quote]
