[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I was hoping for slightly better numbers, but as expected I'll be watching waitlists all summer and fall, looks like. But we matched with John Lewis which we're excited about!

For K:
1	Ross Elementary School		Waitlisted - #24	
2	Garrison Elementary School		Waitlisted - #10	
3	Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS		Waitlisted - #17	
4	E.L. Haynes PCS - Elementary School		Waitlisted - #6	
5	John Lewis Elementary School		Match (enrollment pending)	
6	Lee Montessori PCS - Brookland	Sibling Offered	Waitlisted - #1

For 1st Grade: 
1	Ross Elementary School		Waitlisted - #45	
2	Garrison Elementary School		Waitlisted - #20	
3	Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS		Waitlisted - #35	
4	E.L. Haynes PCS - Elementary School		Waitlisted - #8	
5	John Lewis Elementary School	Sibling Offered	Waitlisted - #1	
6	Lee Montessori PCS - Brookland		Match (enrollment pending)

We put Lee down without much thought and will be turning down that offer - but is it just me or is it crazy that we got an offer for 1st from them with what must be a pretty crappy lottery number? They must be really falling in popularity. [/quote]

Ha! I was wondering about you! I think these numbers are actually pretty good. But honestly, Lewis is great (or so I hear). [/quote]

+1 I was also invested in the outcome for this family. I've heard great things about Lewis (have good friends with two kids there who wound up turning down a spot at a JKLM last year to stay) and think the PP will discover that the joy of being at a neighborhood school with a lot of community buy in will trump whatever perceived advantages they currently see at some of these further flung options.[/quote]

+1. Having a good neighborhood school makes life so much easier and better during the elementary years. I would much rather do this than commute to a far school. [/quote]

You may feel different as you get to upper elementary. Our kid is at a popular title 1 school with a nice community but many kids are struggling with grade level work and she is bored.  [/quote]
