[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, and even if you didn't want/couldn't do Banneker or SWW, or wanted the experience of a non-Wilson HS...it can't be that hard to OOB into Eastern which, at least, has an IB program. I think it's still small and new enough that a kid as driven as this could be a big fish in a small pond but at least he'd have teachers with a bit more experience teaching advanced classes and more students able to fill seats in those classes.[/quote] Great things are definitely happening at Eastern. However, getting in OOB is actually much harder than you've implied. Lottery results are out and they only offered 10 9th grade spots (7 are siblings), with 85 on the wait list. DCPS results are here: http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Learn+About+Schools/Lottery+and+Admissions:+Apply+to+Our+Schools I got into an Ivy from a poor public high school, but my parents certainly didn't have a master plan. A selective high school seems like a good option in this case. [/quote]
