[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks from your list that you are either at the very north end of the Hill or actually above H St NE and not actually on the Hill. Why not JO Wilson? Is that your zoned school? I think for K-2 people are happy, and increasingly so the last couple of years. [/quote]

Thanks but only looking at schools we will stay at through 5th. [/quote]

I assume she lives in Kingman Park and is zoned for Miner. I can't imagine many would put TR - Young over TR - 4th if they lived by JOW. If I were you, I'd put Maury and Brent on there just in case. A few OOBs do get in occasionally and parents there are worried about the renovation so it's possible it will be easier to get into than normal. [/quote]

This is seriously bad advice.  No one OOB has gotten into Maury for the past several years.  Same with Brent.  I am inbounds and was shut out for PK3.  It's a total waste of a slot.

TR Young is a far nicer campus, and a lot of the best TR teachers went there.  TR 4th is not in the nicest area (by an abortion clinic and a garage with dismal outside space).

And that's why people that don't know what they're talking about should not ramble online.[/quote]

As the PP, I say this directly back to you. You are totally wrong. 1. Brent and Maury both ended up taking OOB Kers last year. 2. I couched my post in terms of her otherwise not having 12 schools, so there is LITERALLY NO downside to adding schools at which she has a 0% chance... which she doesn't, see point 1. If you're going to be completely wrong, try not to be nasty.[/quote]

Agreed that OOB kids have a shot at Brent for K and that it's worth putting on a list if you don't otherwise have 12 picks. However I would note that the rising K group IB for Brent is much, much larger than the group of kids currently in K (the rising K cohort is the one where 30+ IB kids including numerous siblings were waitlisted for PL). So what happened last year is not necessarily instructive for this year's K lottery at Brent. [/quote]
