[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where do in-bounds Ludlow Taylor families plan to send their kids to school? I know a few who lotteried into SWS, Maury and Brent when such a thing was possible, but those ships have sailed.

Do the parents of toddlers plan to try for other Hill schools? What are the acceptable options on the Hill? Or are you going to move to a different school zone? Try for a charter and accept a big commute?[/quote]

Middle-class IB parents of toddlers do their damndest to find an out for a solid K-5 option.  They start by applying to up to a dozen charters for preschool, plus the 6 ranked choices DCPS permits per year.

If they strike out everywhere but L-T for preschool (maybe in half the cases), they stay IB for a year and try again.  Repeat in PreK if necessary.  Repeat in K if necessary.

By first grade, every neighborhood parent seems to have found a slot they're willing to take.  Two Rivers, Logan Montessori, Peabody/Watkins (proximity preference given to IB L-T families), Tyler Spanish Immersion, SWS and Yu Ying seem to be the top choices.  Maury and Brent no longer have OOB spots for PreS3, PreK4 and K, and very few spots before 4th or 5th.
