[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your housing budget?  That will help people provide you with some more targeted advice.[/quote]

Our housing budget is $3,000-$3,500/mo.[/quote]

I live in Petworth/Brightwood and this seems like a tight budget if you want a full house (most likely not IB for Powell), but if you're happy with a smaller apartment it is doable, but not necessarily IB for all of the schools you listed. This city is getting harder and harder, esp if you want more than 2 bedrooms and more than a condo.[/quote]

Yes, aiming for a 2BR apartment.[/quote]

And, to be honest, we could go up quite a bit on rent if we got a free PK4 slot.[/quote]

People are recommending Bancroft, but just beware you won’t get a PK4 spot there if English dominant (even with sibling preference). If I could pick anywhere to live in the city, it would probably be mount pleasant, so it’s still a great suggestion. You’ll just need to find a CBO or other place for the youngest.[/quote]

I was one of the ones recommending Bancroft and completely agree that you wont get a PK4 spot, but the commute between Bancroft and Bethune 16th St/Centro Nino is definitely doable if you really want Spanish.  And both of those are places OP is likely to get a spot for her PK4 kid.[/quote]

+1 Very unlikely to get a pk4 spot at any of the bilingual DCPS or immersion charter schools.[/quote]
