Meanwhile your kid is somewhere crappy and/or moving around a lot.

I posted upthread. We tried two schools in 4 years, losing lottery (by miles) each time. Pulled her out in 4th grade. Wish I had done it sooner, but I kept thinking "surely a good option will come up" and it never did. [/quote]

My kid was never somewhere crappy. We had a lovely time at our IB and it absolutely did meet her short-term needs.

If you're going to think anything less than the best is "crappy", you won't be happy in northeast DC.[/quote]

That's not us at all, given that we did PG County public schools after DC. You act like I am sad I couldn't get Lafayette. I didnt want or need anything like that. But we never even made it into a tier 3 DCPS. But if you would send your kids to Browne EC, by all means, throw shade. We didn't leave easily. [/quote]

I had my kid at a one-star school for two years. A school that couldn't even fill up two PK3 classes. It's better now, but how it was back then is definitely similar to how Browne is now. And it was good and her needs were met, for preschool.[/quote]

PRE SCHOOL.  I stayed in schools like that, trying my level best to make it work, til she was mid way through fourth grade.  Please go on feeling like you're better than me. [/quote]
