[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i have a rising pk3, and i certainly spent a lot of time lurking and reading past threads on lottery lists and schools, and re-arranged my list a few times after open houses, but didn't feel the need to have strangers second and third-guess for me.

the current reality is that my IB is totally fine, there's one achievable school that I would prefer, and one reach that I think would be good for my little one but I don't expect to get in. She's thriving in her current daycare so if we don't get a seat anywhere before k that is also fine if more expensive.

The looming issue is of course middle school, as I will not send my little to Cardozo, and a [b]Shaw middle at 8th and Euclid is also a pass for me[/b]. (I used to live off of Euclid.) So we may end up having to do private once middle school hits if we don't get into a school with a good feeder, but I can only stress about so many things at once. Also I can't really predict at this point whether my little is going to be nerdy or sporty or arty or whatever, so I'm not going to get my heart set on a school years in advance that might be completely inappropriate for them. I want them to thrive, not be a mini-me. Maybe I'll post my any internal meltdown once the lottery results come out? [/quote]

fwiw, we live in this feeder pattern, i have one kid who is too old for Euclid Middle and one who will be in the first entering class, and it is stunning how much less attrition there has been in their two grades in a school where everything else is equal (same teachers, same curriculum). much, much less attrition in the 1st grade class, and the "upper income" parents seem willing to give the new middle school a chance.

my older son, its deeply stressful, we are playing the lottery this year to hope for a better middle school path in time. [/quote]
