[quote=Anonymous]For the single mom of the 2nd grader - The crushing demand for Maury is in the early childhood grades (particularly preschool and pre-K). As a parent of a 2nd grader, you should have a far easier time getting in to Maury or any of the other good Capitol Hill schools (i.e, Brent, Tyler, Ludlow-Taylor - I'm not sure how this plays out for Watkins though). Of course as the years go by, and everyone sticks around, it will be harder to get in at the 2nd grade and higher grades. But for this coming school year at least, I think you'd still have a good shot - at all three schools really - the first class that showed the increased demand at Maury and Brent are just hitting 3rd grade and at Maury at least, there's very few 'white' parents that started in the early childhood grades that have stuck with it through 3rd grade. I know of at least one child that joined Brent as a 2nd grader last year in the spring so openings do happen. Good luck![/quote]
