[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope to be you in a few years OP.  I'd love to send DD to our neighborhood ES which is (1) free and (2) two blocks away.  I have somewhat different reasons than you- I suspect they ES experiences don't matter much in the long run so I'm not interested in spending the time/$/brainspace to find something "better".  I just have to get my husband on board.[/quote]

I feel you. My advice: play the lottery and rank your schools in your true order of preference, with the caveat that there are some schools where it truly doesn't matter how much you love them, you won't get in even if you have the best lottery number there is, unless you're IB. You will likely get into your IB school, and at that point, my argument would be, let's see what happens this year, and if it's not to our liking, we can continue to try the lottery until we find something that works. That was my attitude, and mid-way through the year when it was time to start thinking about the lottery again, I decided based on my previous research that we were unlikely to find a school that worked better for us than the one we were already at unless we moved.
