[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just came here to say that I have a current 2nd grader, am in a good elementary and am not playing the lottery and STILL stress every year. The DC lottery system is stressful and not for all the type A planners (like me) that live in Washington, DC. It is hard to stay put knowing that every year there is a "chance" you "may" get into a "good/better" school. Every year around this time I tell DH it's time to think about a jump to the burbs and he always calmly reminds me about Latin, Basis, Walls and Banneker ... but the unknown is so hard (for me)!![/quote] I was unhappy on match day a couple years ago and tried to put on a good face at daycare pickup when we heard friend after friend match at some of the popular charters. I was certain that we would lottery again. Our safety school ended up being a great fit and we learned that the grass wasn’t necessarily greener, it was just different. We haven’t lotteried since.
