[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOW. I would really thank everyone for their amazingly constructive feedback. The upshot seems to be to move into an area zoned for Deal/Wilson or Hardy/Wilson and I am good to go. So I'll look into those maps now. Also, everyone seems to agree about putting the kids on the waitlist for the charter schools Inspired Teaching and DC International. Do I have to chose one over the other? Would one probably suit the kids over another? And my two year old will be three in December. How does the lottery work for him? What do I have to do and what places would be near his older siblings/in the same system? Thank you again![/quote]

I have 3 kids.  For the sake of your sanity as a single mom, I would attempt to keep them in close proximity to each other. Depending on your situation, schools like BASIS, IT and DC International would probably require your kids be comfortable navigating the metro system unless you're just going to drive all around town every morning and afternoon.  If the housing in the Hardy/Deal zones are financially viable then, while there aren't many options for PK3 on the west side of town, your youngest would be guaranteed a spot by K in your neighborhood school and the kids wouldn't ever be more than a mile away from each other.  And yes, you have to enter the lottery for PK3 even for your inbound school (assuming they have PK3).[/quote]
