[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP above because it's impossible read the tea leaves for MS and HS with little kids.

When my kids were babies, far and away the best public ES option EotP was Watkins.  That ship began to sail after the language immersion started opening in Ward 5 around 2009.  Watkins still hasn't recovered.

Now we've got Latin Cooper opening in the fall, a school that could take off as a new, UMC-friendly MS & HS option EotP, or not.  Many of the Brent, Maury and Ludlow-Taylor 5th graders this year will be kids who didn't get the lottery results for Latin 1 or BASIS.

If living with lottery risk isn't your thing, OP, and you probably wouldn't be OK with a heavily low SES DCPS MS (Jefferson, Eliot-Hine, Stuart Hobson, Brookland) I'd stick to the Deal-Wilson pyramid.  But then Deal and Wilson aren't as strong academically as BASIS and, arguably, Walls.  If you move to NOVA or MoCo, you don't have the stress of all the uncertainty.

This.  It's just not a precise enough thing when you have a toddler.  When we bought our house, we were zoned for a school that doesn't even exist anymore.  Then everyone thought Mundo Verde and CMI were the shizzle.  Lee was a brand-new startup.  DCPS was trying to close Garrison.  Wells didn't exist, DCI .  Boundaries all over the place were different than they are now.  ITS, SSMA, and various other schools were in different locations than they are now.  The system has too many moving parts for the parent of a very young child to be able to predict.[/quote]
