[quote=Anonymous]for the OP:  There is no way that you will lottery in to an immersion charter on the 2nd round.  Even on the 1st these spots are the most sought after in the city.  So, as PPs have advised, Oyster would be a good bet as an IB family.  But you should also look at other DCPS immersion programs, although you will need to be comfortable with high levels of low income students and lower test scores.  Powell Elementary is an excellent example of an immersion program that fits this profile, but also has a group of IB families who are highly educated and involved.  They are slated for a major renovation and expansion starting this summer.  The demographic at that school is shifting slowly toward a mix of low and higher income families, and from what I saw on a tour, the environment is clean, organized, the kids are on task, the Spanish is strong and the teachers and administration quite excellent, even in the upper grades.  I imagine that a number of bilingual schools in DCPS fit this description, so keep your mind open.

Look on myschooldc.org (the lottery website) where you can search by school characteristics, and select for bilingual programs and other markers of interest to you.

Good luck!
