[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
Thanks everyone. I've been overwhelmed with a ton of stuff, job being one. We moved here as a start over point, and moved in with my dad. My husband is busy applying for positions all over DC and PG County and MoCo. I was looking for a remote position in case the 3 yo didn't get a spot anywhere. LaSalle also offers free after school care for 5th grader and income-based for 2nd grader. That's helping a lot.

If hubby gets job my dad has set up, I believe he'll be close by in PG County. He's not concerned with a commute - he'll drive however long it takes to get to the money. We can move closer to accommodate him when the money is right.

Honestly, this school lottery is overwhelming to say the least. My priority is getting them into a good school, 2nd would be to get them all in to the same school, 3rd would be distance. Are there any school buses to any of the options mentioned? If not, my 3rd priority might move to tie with 1st because we have one vehicle. I can always do more research on that.

Thank you very much to 6:13 PP. EL Haynes, Cap City, inspired Teaching, Creative Minds, and Shining Stars are on my radar. I'm going to include KIPP, Latin, and Basis - my eldest is very competitive and could excel in those schools if given an opportunity to explore. Who knows. Also Takoma and West. If we move before September and not to a good school boundary, I'll be sure to include surrounding public schools that look good to us. Even though I want to just get them into a school, all 3, and be blessed enough to have it go through to 12th grade, I'll keep trying this lottery if I have to do so until we get this straightened out!

I don't know how you guys do this! It definitely wasn't THIS difficult in PA lol. [/quote]

Just a heads up for West Education Campus - the middle school grades will be discontinued in a couple of years when MacFarland MS fully reopens.  So if you're looking for one school for all of them for the long haul, that probably won't work there.[/quote]
