[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a wild list, geographically.

If you tell us the grade you're going into and how long you plan to stay in DC, and what your in-boundary school is, people can be quite helpful.[/quote]

My child will start Pre-k 3. My in-boundary school is Van Ness, but I’m willing to commute for the right school. The list of schools I listed were just a few schools that were given to me to review.[/quote]

Have you been to an open house at Van Ness? Go before going anywhere else -- you might be pleasantly surprised, and there would be many benefits to your life (commute, neighbors).

K is a much better year to try the lottery for other, better schools, if that is what you want.[/quote]

My kids both attended PK at Van Ness (as well as the rest of elementary), and it really has a fabulous PK program and a wonderful diverse community of families. It's been nice living in the same neighborhood where our kids go to school and most of their friends also live--lots of playdates at Yards Park and Canal Park. I've heard good things about Appletree SW, which I think is a good backup if you don't don't get a PK slot. That gives you a manageable commute until you could get an IB slot at Van Ness for Kindergarten. [/quote]
