[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again: thank you all for this!

This changes things maybe. We still want to go look at that house but the idea of the lottery was what we were trying to avoid. We like the IB feel and kids walking to school together, etc.

Sounds like that doesn't happen in Brightwood? Heck, maybe that doesn't happen anywhere.

Maybe we will look at some houses in Takoma and look at Takoma ES as an option based on what I have read here.

We are also not anti-charter but wanted the neighborhood school to be first choice..

I don't think you will find a neighborhood east of rock creek park where the neighborhood school is the first choice. (Even our friends west of rock creek park have been a bit disappointed how many kids go to private schools.) We live near where you are looking but zoned for Whittier. Some neighbors do go but more go to charters. A lot more IB families seem to start with Takoma but as the years go by move to charters.

There are data sources that show both the percent of zoned kids that attend their zoned school and the percent of kids attending each school that are IB, if this is really important to you.[/quote]
