[quote=Anonymous]We did one of her group sessions, which was in the neighborhood of $50. It was good from my wife's perspective, who has never read DCUM. If you want to get the quick and dirty without doing your own research, it's not that bad an investment.

That said, she's a little...frenetic, and definitely opinionated. Her own preferences towards the arts and focus on kids with special needs prevails in her recommendations. To her credit, she seems to have spent a lot of time getting to know schools, principals, etc. So she can provide some interesting insight.

I think her advice would have been far more valuable under the old lottery process, where you had to manage a lot of waiting lists, game your entries, etc. Under the new process, it's a lot simpler. Also, her view of some of the "below the radar" schools is a bit out of date. She might have led one to believe that a school like Powell or Bridges would be a sure thing for you to get into this year, as they were up-and-coming. It's kinda like someone who thinks that Columbia Heights is the new undiscovered hip part of the city.
