[quote=Anonymous]We applied to the lottery for PreK-3 for our oldest four years ago and got in no where, even our IB school on Capitol Hill. I felt terrible at the time as we watched friends accept spots at really nice schools. It ended up being the luckiest thing that ever happened to us. We decided to move to the suburbs, lucked into a house in an amazing neighborhood where houses rarely come on the market, got a bigger house than we thought we could afford for fluky reasons, got our kids into a great preschool, and they are now thriving at our wonderful neighborhood elementary school that is down the street. I feel like if we had gotten in anywhere that year we played the lottery we would have tried to make it work in DC and missed the opportunity to make this moved that has been great. Sometimes losing is actually winning from a different perspective. [/quote]
