[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, these suggestions are awful. Half of these schools don’t even offer PK3! In your situation, here are some DCPS schools I’d submit a post lottery app to:
- Military Road ELC
- Truesdell
- Whittier
- Takoma
- Burroughs
- Bunker Hill
- Dorothy Height
All of these are within 2 miles of the hospital, and close to bus/metro.

I’m less familiar with charters, but Appletree CH, Lee (Brookland), Meridian PCS, Sela, Bethune, Shining Stars, maybe Creative Minds?[/quote]

There is SO much terrible advice on this thread. Why on EARTH would someone who is leaving the city before his kid hits 1st grade pay a huge premium and accept a longer commute to live in ward 3 for the schools??? There are a ton of schools with fabulous early elementary programs, starting in PK3, that are much closer to hospitals. [/quote]

Agreed on the bad advice—but I think it’s because this was originally posted elsewhere so a bunch of people with no or dated experience chimed in at first.

OP, now that you’re in the right place (DCPS forum), listen to the advice! Ward 3 is not a good idea if you’re only here a few years. [/quote]

I think it's because OP's post was a little unclear as to whether he was looking for PK3, or just trying to land somewhere where she could get into PK4 next year. He said something about understanding the lottery was over. I asked him to clarify but he didn't.[/quote]
