[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which would you pick? Both are a commute, though SH is marginally closer. High school is not a concern because we'll be moving after middle school. She's bilingual. She has friends planning to go to both. She does well in school, typically above grade level, but not super advanced. I'm mostly worried about the school environment. Disruptive behaviors in class really stress her out. She's on medication and in therapy, but it's still hard, so a relatively well organized environment would really help her.

Her brother is the grade below and struggles more in school (though is mostly on grade level) and has ADHD, and I'd love advice for him too. [/quote]

Are you in a DCI feeder? You will not get into Spanish unless you are in a feeder. [/quote]

OP here - yes. [/quote]

This feels like hot BS.  [b]If you didn’t put dci as number one for feeder preference, you didn’t get in.[/b] If you live on Capitol Hill and are inbounds, you would know dci is pretty far away.

This is patently false and not how the lottery works. Assuming you don't get into the schools you rank above it, putting a school at #3 vs. #1 DOES NOT impact whether you get an offer there.

If you put:

#1: Deal
#2: Inspired Teaching
#3: DCI (with feeder preference)

And you get a meh number, you obviously won't get into Deal, and you won't get into ITDS, but you'll probably get into DCI. Your chances of getting into DCI with that same meh lottery number [u]do not change[/u] if you just put DCI #1.

True order of preference, people. True order of preference. [/quote]

Please contact my school dc and confirm this because I was DIRECTLY TOLD by my school dc phone that I had to list dci first to get feeder preference. I was not told this by dci but I was told this by myschool dc. It didn’t matter to me bc dci was our first choice but you really want to confirm this. [/quote]
