[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds really hard. I'm sorry.

Just looking at short waitlists (https://www.myschooldc.org/short-waitlists):

You could do Thomson, Cleveland, or Seaton and feed into John Francis for 6th. If your daughter was previously doing Spanish immersion, she could even continue that at Cleveland.

You could do Friendship Online for 5th and try again for the 6th grade lottery.

You could do Miner and feed into Eliot-Hine for 6th.

You could do Takoma or Whittier and feed into Wells for 6th.[/quote]

I am so sorry you're dealing with this. I don't have personal experience with most of these schools, but I know Thomson and it is great. People do come in fifth grade (awesome teacher at that level) to get access to John Francis. Principal (Carmen Shepherd) and AP (Crystal Overstreet) are wonderful and warm and will answer all questions.

Other schools on this list could be equally good options, though I'd steer you away from Miner. Good principal and parent community but school has a lot of challenges, particularly in upper grades. [/quote]

Thank you for this. I will look into all of the options.
