[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks again.  We'll apply to Appletree immediately.

3 more questions:

1. Is DC Bilingual the same as Centronia?  It looks like they're the same school but I don't think I saw anything actually named "DC Bilingual" - want to make sure I have right place (even if it's a longshot).

2. What do people think of Shining Stars Montessori, am I right that it seems to be public/free, and how hard/impossible is it to get in there?  I haven't seen in mentioned so far in the threads I've read....

3. A few people (including staff at Haynes) have suggested we look at Center City.  But that looks like a charter school too, which I assume will have similar impossible odds as other charters.  Is there something about Center City that makes it more likely to get into, since a few people (here and on phone) have suggested it?  What do you guys think of it as a school?[/quote]

I don't know about the first two, but you may have a chance at Center City.  Only the very good charters are that difficult to get into.  Center City is not very good, many would say that it isn't good at all.  But, I don't really know how it is.  Apply and then go check it out yourself.  It might be good enough for a year, but I doubt it will be a long-term solution (which all of the others, except Appletree, could be).[/quote]
