[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys thanks for the reality check. I am looking at other options. I will not move my child once she starts a school because it takes her such a long time to meet children and adjust to her teacher. I am going to be proactiv. I have talked to many and Robert Goddard is almost impossible to get in.[/quote]

We got into Goddard via the waitlist and turned it down.  There were a bunch of problems with the K teachers that year.  One was let go.

We later applied to and got into Glenarden Woods.  No problem.  I put into the lottery three times, for two separate children, and we got in all three times.  Glenarden was a mistake and the kids are now at their neighborhood school.  Happy as can be.

You should go to Vegas!  At least with the Goddard luck.  I think [b]Glenarden Woods [/b]took like 80% via lottery and then lots came in off the waitlist because people left.  We've lost out on the lottery for both programs at Goddard every year and DC is in private.  The parents we know told us the odds are pretty slim on French Immersion and really terrible on Montessori (someone told me 1 in 17 get in, another said 1 in 12, either is terrible).  We'll try again for our younger child but I wish they could open more programs since these are so popular.  [/quote]

They actually had to re-open the lottery in October because they had so much turnover this fall.[/quote]
