[quote=Anonymous]Just to level set, you're kind of asking for a unicorn. Good middle schools are notoriously hard to get into in DC; there are just not that many of them given the level of demand. Many families even spend years schlepping their children across town to feeder elementary schools just to secure a spot in a good middle school. And even most of these good schools would not be described as "gentle." The lottery happened back in March. Even if you add your name to schools now, you will be at the back of the line, behind everyone else still trying to secure a spot for their kid. Eliot-Hine is a good suggestion. Short waitlist, small school, dedicated SPED resources, small but growing contingent of middle class/upper middle class students, seemingly decent academics.[/quote]
