[quote=Anonymous]I think that's a bit harsh--many people are used to a system where there isn't much if any school choice, and all the schools in a district have similar offerings and test scores. DC is not like that, but some people decided where to live before they had school-aged kids and didn't think a lot about it.

Fortunately for OP, she seem to be IB for Peabody, which is a pretty good option. She needs to find some other schools to list (or be happy not getting in anywhere) and decide what order to rank them in, but she'll probably get in someplace and can always go to Peabody for K. And she'll probably like it just fine.

There's a lot more to a kid's education, especially at 3 years old, than what school they go to. Some of it can't be controlled, like learning disabilities or a teacher's temperament. Most kids who have caring parents (and especially those with caring, educated, rich parents) are going to be ok at just about any school, and if they aren't it's usually not because of the school. Maybe we should all be a little more like OP (but not too much...spending 15 minute looking at the lottery website to understand how it works is time well spent!).[/quote]
