[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inspired Teaching will give you a pretty good chance in 5th since a group of kids leave for the 5th-12th schools like Latin and Basis then. And if your 5th grader is offered a spot or enrolls, then your 3rd grader will rise to the top of that grade's list and is likely to get pulled in. Inspired only goes to 8th and the MS is small, but they have a good track record of HS application support and acceptances to competitive HSs.[/quote]

Also, my daughter is in this grade at ITDS (rising 5th grader) and it's a really kind cohort of kids.  [/quote]

And if your 5th grader gets in she will pull your 3rd grader in due to sibling preference.[/quote]

To echo some prior posters, you can look in this forum for the many discussions about middle and high school - and depending on what you are looking for, you may find that there are zero good options, or you may find that there are more than a dozen. High school is more complicated, and even if you get into a 'good (per DCUM)' middle school, many kids from those schools also leave again by middle school to try for application or private schools.

Not sure about Maury, but you would probably be able to get into Payne in 3rd & 5th, and it would feed into Eliot Hine - which again I know is not good enough for many people on this thread, but there are lots of folks who are there and are happy.

Again, depends on where you live. Sending your kids across town every day is a lot, so factor that in too - whether it is by bus, carpool, or you driving them. Lots of hours of sleep, homework, social time, and family life lost to commuting. [/quote]
