[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some Ward 4 families currently doing/planning for elementary and middle school?

Trying to lottery repeatedly into charters that feed to DCI?

Doing elementary at one of the public neighborhood schools and then trying to get into BASIS or Latin?

What about other middle school options like Cap City?

Every family that I know from my children’s day care in Ward 4 end up at a DCI feeder (LAMB, MV, and DCB) since preK3 or preK4. [/quote]

I find it surprising that you don't know any families that struck out on the PK lottery for DCI feeders. We struck out in both PK3 and PK4 and by the time we got into one in K, we had found another situation we liked and didn't want to move our kid.

I think the better explanation here is that YOU went to a DCI feeder in PK and have self-selected to stay in touch with other parents who did the same and prioritized it. I guarantee there are kids from you child's daycare going to other schools, either other charters or DCPS or private or they moved.

People don't seem to understand how self-selecting "families I know" tends to be. Your contact list is not a representative sample of any population.[/quote]
