[quote=Anonymous]OP, as a PP stated, if you are not picky about the model of education, would consider language immersion and able to commute up to 30 mins for your child to attend school, Petworth area would be okay.  You can reach the Ward 5 charters  and most of the other charters are in bordering Petworth neighborhoods.  It is possible to only get into one school the first time you enter the lottery.  We are on the Hill and despite being in boundary for Maury, we didn't get in until preK. We got into AppleTree and I enrolled my son for one year.  I liked the school and it is a good option for a year or two (they only do PS and PreK).  For PreK we had a few good choices.  We decided to go with language immersion and I am happy with the school.  Personally, I didn't find the lottery to be stressful end of the world experience.  I am happy that we had choices.  You are three years away from entering the lottery so things may change or the better or get more competitive.  If you can wait to buy and rent, that will give you more options in the future, but again Petworth is fairly central so a lot comes down to commuting time, i.e., the location of your job to home to school.  So much could change in 3 yrs.  [/quote]
