[quote=Anonymous]To answer the OP's original question: we moved to MD. While it would be great to win a spot in the lottery at a Deal-feeder or a handful of good charters we repeatedly didn't. Nor could we afford to move to those zones right away or justify the cost of a temporary move to one without substantially compromising our standard of living: and for what...a DC zip code? We believe in the idea of strong neighborhood schools and sent our child to ours in DC for 4 years. It worked well, until it didn't, and though it is heartbreaking and embarrassing to pull out for greener and more affluent pastures, our child is not an experiment, so we did. We are sad about the entire situation but 3 years later we do not regret it. DCPS will never solve its issues until it or the city or our country is able to take care of peoples' basic needs before, or in tandem with, educational priorities. This problem is about so much more than education, and it is not fair. [/quote]
