[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

We live in Petworth and we are interested in bilingual education, but that's not a deal-breaker. Here's our list. We are close to Barnard but inbound for Truesdell. And yes, we know it's virtually impossible to get into Hyde Addison OOB. But I would love your feedback.

Hyde Addison 
Yu Ying 
Mundo Verde 
Shepherd Elementary 
DC Bilingual 
Two Rivers PCS 4th Street 
Appletree Columbia Heights 
Barnard 
EL Haynes 
Marie Reed (DL) 
Stokes 
Shining Stars

There are virtually no safety schools on this list.  Barnard is unlikely OOB  as is Marie Reed. [b]Maybe Shepard but I wouldn't hold my breath there either.[/b]  We live in a petworth also and have known people who are happy at Truesdale for PK. If you don't mind a commute or have a back up plan it's fine. [/quote]

Possible there could be a couple OOB spots at Shepherd but I would not consider it a safety. Even some IB families are worried about getting in this year.[/quote]
We're IB for Shepherd, and I would have zero concerns for any IB family for next year, since they added the second PK3 class this year. My guess is you'll see about 10 OOB slots at the school after filling IB.

I'm a little confused at Appletree above Barnard and Haynes for a family that lives so close to those two - those are much more viable for longer term and decent schools. I must say I'm a little baffled at trying to figure out your true priorities and ranking criteria based on the list - they're all over the map, literally and figuratively.

If bilingual really is important to you, I'd probably put DCB above Shepherd - since it's not only bilingual but [b]has a long term feeder path[/b]. [/quote]

Shepherd has the best long term feeding path :)[/quote]
