[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in NE DC and really love our neighborhood, but our in boundary school is terrible and won't improve enough for us to even consider [b]sending our DC when she turns five [/b](she is 18 months right now).  I periodically "freak out" a little when I think about the school situation and whether we made a mistake moving to NE and instead should have pushed our budget to be in a good in boundary school in upper NW or should have sucked it up and moved to VA (which my DH would hate).

Does anyone else have these freak out moments?  What do others plan to do if they don't get into a good charter?  Private school?  Move to the suburbs?  Try to find a "walkable" area with good schools in MD or VA?[/quote]

OP, you know you can start at three with free preschool here, right?  And you probably wouldn't have that in the suburbs? So don't move now!

If you live in the eastern part of the Noyes zone I would suggest checking out Langdon's Montessori program.  If you live in the western Edgewood part, strongly consider Langley, Seaton, and Cleveland.  All of those schools admitted OOB students for PK3 this year-- who knows if they will in 2018, of course.  Your chances are probably best at Langley because they may add a classroom.  I am sending my kid there and it's totally fine!  Two years from now, your cohort will benefit from everything we are working on now.  Your involvement as a volunteer would likely be welcomed at any of these schools.

The best advice I can give you is to channel your anxiety into learning about DCPS.  That way you'll be prepared to do everything you can to help your DD and her classmates.  From one anxiety-prone mom to another, I promise, it'll be ok.[/quote]
