[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  I really think the only way to have a chance at a decent DCPS is to list 12 up-and-coming schools and hope for the best.  Not sure if I can identify 12 that show enough promise to make it on my list.  It's a gamble in that there is no guarantee that the school I get matched to will ever get over that hump, but its no more of a gamble than trying to lottery for a highly sought after school.[/quote]

I would think of it like College where you have some "Reach" schools that you apply to and love and some "Safeties" that aren't as good but would be fine. We did this and, as you indicated above, got a late lottery draw and only got into our unpopular in-boundary DCPS. We clearly only got in here because of our IB status, as there were about 30 OOB people waitlisted in the initial lottery. (And this for one of the worst performing schools in DC!) However, I know a handful of people who got into their top choice, so it is definitely not impossible to get into some great schools. OP, what is you IB school? I did not think I would even check mine out but did at the urging of a few people, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. I would definitely check yours out if it offers PK3.[/quote]
