[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I’m in the same boat but just starting with PK3. We are AA as well and your concerns are in line with ours. I’ve had to come to the realization that a move outside to neighboring counties might just be what happens with us in a few years. [/quote]

We are also AA and planning to de-camp to Howard County before 3rd grade. [/quote]

My DC had terrible lottery numbers 3 years in a row.  We had the same plan to flee when he was a toddler.  Fortunately that third year there was a lot of waitlist movement and we finally lucked into a school that has been fantastic for my DC by every measure.  As early as 1st grade the school did pullouts for children that were ahead academically.  He has other opportunities that I never had growing up.  Also there are children who look like him that are also succeeding and push him to work even harder.  I played the lottery for 1st and 2nd (because I’m paranoid like that) and did get into several of our former top choices both years.  Turned them down and my oldest will be in 4th next year.  Who knows, we still may head to the suburbs, but frankly most suburban schools haven’t exactly mastered achievement gap issues either.

It’s tough and this process sucks, but just wanted to give you guys some hope.  [/quote]

Thanks for this.  I wish you and your fam the best.  Hopefully, I strike the lottery (literally) in a few weeks.[/quote]
