[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is new to mcps , she was private schooled from k-8 . Our home school is Northwood HS . Last year we did not know anything about the choice process for the dcc , and when we ranked the schools we had disregarded transportation issues because we were under the impression that mcps would provide an adequate transportation to and from school . The ranking went : Blair , Einstein , Wheaton , Kennedy , Northwood . The results come around , and my daughter receives her third choice (Wheaton) . She is a freshman now at Wheaton . When we looked at the bus routes the only available stop was 20 minutes away by walk and she has to walk along and across a very busy road . In addition to this , for her to participate in extracurriculars , she takes 3 buses home after school . I am unable to drive her to and from school every day I have a work schedule . We filed an appeal last week stating this and requesting to be transferred to Blair , her first choice , and I’m worried they will reject it and she has to go to Wheaton another year. Do you think it’s likely they will accept our appeal ?[/quote]

Blair is like 500+ seats over capacity now. It seems unlikely they'll put any new students there. You may want to select a less crowded school.[/quote]

I would be be shocked if they allowed it. The principal said the next year's incoming freshman class is going to be extra large so it will be even more over capacity next year.[/quote]
