[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are not answering OP’s question about what happens if you strike out in the lottery for 6th grade.  She is not asking about earlier.

You move OP.  That is the answer.

You can get into EH, Jefferson, Wells, any of the very poorly performing middle schools in 6th.  SH very good chance in 6th, definitely in 7th.  You also can get into ITS.

You move so you are set for 6-12th.  Don’t settle for poorly performing schools or schools with limited options to go thru this all over again for high school and lose again.

The answer was (and still is) that it's irresponsible to wait until 6th. OP appears not to know that, and also seems not to have known that the sought after charter middles start in 5th, which means if you wait until 6th you will have already "struck out." OP also didn't seem to understand that DCI is virtually unavailable to kids who aren't at feeder schools.

I say this as someone who also lives IB for Wheatley -- it's nuts to sit around waiting for MS and hope a single lottery (whether in 5th or 6th) will solve your problem. You need to be thinking about this much earlier and setting your kids up for more options.[/quote]
