[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaways (from an EOTP and staying there perspective):

1) if you’re waiting until you’ve got a rising 5th grader to figure out middle school, you’re actually fine. I see two solid middle school feeder options on this list for 5th grade (Mondo Verde -&gt; DCI and Thompson -&gt; SWW@FS). So those loving their IB elementary school but not their middle school feed can breathe a bit easier. Even with a crap lotto number, you can make it work.

2) if you’re in a middle school you love with a bad feeder and are waiting to figure out 9th, that’s a bit rockier. Eastern or Roosevelt are probably your best lotto options if you don’t get into an application school and get a crap number. Even Soujourner Truth and Washington Leadership Academy didn’t make this list. [/quote]

5th grade at MV would be awfully hard for a kid that didn’t speak Spanish.

Also, I don’t think if SWW@FS as an upgrade from SH (do most?) and kids can walk right into an SH feeder easily.[/quote]

There are many, many families that either speak Spanish at home or are in DCPS immersion schools that could switch to MV without a hitch. [/quote]

I’m looking at the list and they have 9 people on the waitlist for 5th.   There are no spots and there are a hell of a lot of bilingual DCPS families looking for middle school feed.

No idea where PP says there are spots.  Also no spots whatsoever the rest of the grades at either campuses.[/quote]

This data is just a snapshot. Many more grades and schools will be added to the list from now until October. You can use the historic waitlist data to get a sense of which schools go far into and clear waitlists regularly. [/quote]
