[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]here are our results for our 4 year old.  she's in AppleTree-LP right now (which we love)

RANK	SCHOOL NAME	PREFERENCES	STATUS Status Definitions	NEXT STEPS
1	School-Within-School		Waitlisted - #50	
2	Maury Elementary School		Waitlisted - #79	
3	Ludlow-Taylor Elementary School		Waitlisted - #19	
4	Brent Elementary School		Waitlisted - #54	
5	Peabody Elementary School		Match (enrollment pending)

I think we'll stay w/AppleTree-LP and roll again next year?   Peabody is tempting but Watkins doesn't seem popular?  Ludlow Taylor also tempting, assuming at 19 we'd have a shot[/quote]

I would submit a post-lottery application at JOW and Payne. Maybe Tyler too but I think you'd only have a shot at English track and I don't know about it. Apple Tree has no feed so I would not want to get stuck waiting to strike gold for next year or later. You need an elementary school.

JOW will be a tricky couple years in their swing space but then your kid would spend 1st-5th at their brand new campus, and I think you'll see a lot of buy in once that opens too. They have a could core group of parents and the PTA gets better every year. It's not a perfect school but definitely about to be on the upswing.

Payne is solid. Not great, not terrible. But I'd rather be in PK4 at Payne, knowing I could stay there for K/1st/2nd, than at Apple Tree with no plan.

And if you wind up at either of these schools, you can lottery again next year and hope you get a better spot with the expansion for K that often happens. Plenty of kids on the Hill wind up jumping schools for PK4 and again for K or 1st -- at that age it doesn't matter.[/quote]
