[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]

1) Yes, it's the same place.

2) Do a search on here, someone posted about it relatively recently. I think they said the location of the school is changing and won't work for them anymore, but that they liked the school.

3) Center City isn't as good as the others, so you have a better chance getting in.

You might also want to look at Garrison ES. There's a committed group of parents trying to improve the school, they're getting a new principal, and the wait list is probably not that long so I think you'd have a shot at getting in. Marie Reed is another that you might look into.

Good luck![/quote]
