[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ward 3:  Janney, with Mann as a close second.[/quote]

I would disagree with this.

My opinion (in order):
ward 1: Bancroft, Tubman
ward 2: Ross, Hyde
ward 3: Mann, Stoddert, Murch, Eaton, Oyster, Janney, Key, Hearst (can't go wrong in this ward)
ward 4: [b]Lafayette, Shepherd[/b]
ward 5: slim pickings as this is charter central but I'd say Burroughs
ward 6: Brent, Maury
wards 7&8 are pretty tough as they are also areas where good charters attract a lot of the high achievers[/quote]

I'd potentially switch that order around.  Maybe not for most people, but there are a subset who want a smaller and/or more diverse school (Shepherd is pretty diverse in the lower grades).  Shepherd has somewhere between 325-350 students, vs. like 700 kids at Lafayette, right?  Of course, I know families at Lafayette who have no interest in Shepherd.  I guess it's sort of like the Deal vs. Hardy comparison.[/quote]

You say Shepherd is diverse in the lower grades. What about the upper grades? OP's kid is in second grade.[/quote]
