[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swami,

Going into K:

5	Eaton Elementary School		Waitlisted - #46	
6	Mann Elementary School		Waitlisted - #41	
7	Shepherd Elementary School		Waitlisted - #11	
9	Hyde-Addison Elementary School		Waitlisted - #35	
11	Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS - P Street NW		Waitlisted - #9	
12	Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS		Waitlisted - #21

Any chance for Hyde-Addison (going back to Georgetown), Mann (went to waitlist #55 last year, but was in swing space last year), Eaton (went to waitlist #36 in 2017, only moved 4 spots last year, but moving to swing space this year)? This matters because I have twins. I'm thinking - if we get a WOTP offer - it will be in October, and it will only be for one spot. We are willing to send the kids to separate schools for year. But, we might need an afternoon caretaker or maybe au pair - which means we need to start planning back-up plans now?

Thanks!

What's your IB?[/quote]

We are currently at a Charter near Brookland. We live in the middle of the city - so Brookland and WOTP are equally in/convenient. Mundo is the best commute, but I'm not interested in immersion. I think it would frustrate my kids, who will be nearly 6 in the fall. Commute matters though. My job is demanding and Mundo aftercare stays open until 6:30. I wonder why other aftercare programs don't stay open for longer? People in DC seem to think 5:30 pm is the perfect time to catch-up or send an urgent email (and I'm a fed). That 30 minute cushion is the difference between screaming at traffic and popping blood pressure pill so I don't have a heart attack on the way to pick-up my kids versus being a normal calm person collecting her kids without sweat stains showing through a blazer. Sorry for the rant.

I could rationalize paying for a nanny or au pair if it meant sending my kid to an established school with access to middle/high school path. Not sure I can rationalize for charters. [/quote]
