[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends. What are your options if you aren’t enrolling this year?[/quote]

Begrudgingly private school. I’d rather my child go to public school for as long as possible. [/quote]

You can rank any schools you prefer above it. There are 3 or 4 appletrees, dcps schools with and without boundaries, and charters that are all worth considering, at least for pk3. Like would I usually pick two rivers or amidon over brent? No, but if Brent is in the swing space and the others are a decent commute and I know I have a right to Brent in k? Sure.[/quote]

Yeah, very good point. Only thing is if you get into Appletree, etc. and you’ve ranked it above Brent, you don’t even get a number for Brent to decide. (Appletree being a good option for this situation because it is just PK, and then all kids move on to various K, so everyone is in the same boat.)[/quote]

Yes, that is why it's important to figure out what schools you prefer before the lottery deadline, and rank accordingly. If I lived IB for Brent, here are some schools I would consider for ECE (with commute and curriculum as a deciding factor...like I wouldn't do Chisholm unless I would stay for dual language)

Van Ness
SWS
Payne
Amidon-Bowen
Appletree (lincoln park, oklahoma ave, sw, waterfront)
Thomson
CHML
Chisholm
Miner

I would also look at the community-based options for free private PK[/quote]
