 I'd absolutely move out of DC if my child were to be entered in some totally random lottery for high school; DC will not be slogging over to Balou. I'm already a bit envious of suburban jurisdictions with their GT classes and school buses 
I think I'm not the only one either[/quote]

There won't be a "totally random lottery." [b]You'll rank your choices and get into the highest-ranked one that has space[/b]. So your kid won't get assigned to Ballou unless that's one of your choices.   Wilson doesn't turn away a whole lot of kids right now anyway, if you're in-boundary now your chances of getting in will go from 100% to maybe 90%.

That's even assuming lottery is where they end up, I spoke to someone on the commission yesterday who didn't think they would come down with lottery for all.[/quote]You're being disingenuous.  After you've listed Wilson, what else is there to rank? Banneker/Walls/Ellington are all application schools, as are CHEC , McKinley and even Cardozo; you can list them but not be on their 'list'. Which decent high schools are left then? Roosevelt? Coolidge? Eastern? Latin and Basis aren't open to incoming 9th graders, in typical circumstances[/quote]
