[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Our IB is Cardozo. Basis was our first choice and we still hope she'll get in. In retrospect, I should have done some upper NW elementary schools, but the thought did not occur to me.  I am looking for a decent middle which will help with HS admissions. Banneker, McKinley, Walls, all on the table for 9th.  She's very bright and a top student, so although we may be doing a disservice by staying in the city and going to mediocre schools, we love all the other aspects of our life overall: short commutes, biking, great community.[/quote]

SWWFS and ITS both help the kids a ton with high school applications -- train them in interviews, help them build their lists etc. Both these schools make 20-30 offers for 6th grade so there is still a chance for your daughter (we are in a Cardozo feeder also, and I have a son the same age with the same considerations.)[/quote]

(Also I would absolutely not consider CMI or TR for middle school. If you don't get in to Latins, basis or ITS this year, you can lottery again next year with Hardy, SWWFS, Stuart Hobson, ITS. It's a shame you didn't post this a month ago! Some of the SWWFS and SH feeders almost clear their lists for 5th grade, and some Hardy feeders let in a healthy number.)[/quote]
