[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a prek4 kid on the Hill. Happy to help you here with your list. We consulted with EV a few years ago, not worth the money. [/quote]

Yes, same experience. Talk with as many other parents as you can. That's what we did when our kids were younger, and now we're the parents of older kids (MS and HS) who share our experiences with parents of younger kids. But remember that our experience - like that of any one family - is very limited, and that kids differ, as do their parents' priorities and situations.[/quote]

The problem is if you don’t have anyone to talk to in person about these things. As new DC residents who moved during the pandemic, we had 0 DC friends with children. Everyone we know with kids is in NoVa. It was frustrating trying to navigate it alone. I poured through DC gov websites, ppts, my school DC, school sites, DCUM, past lottery data, really any information I could get my hands on, but this never really gets you to the same type of qualitative information that having a conversation with a real person does. Talking to the consultant gave me more context and understanding of the PK school landscape. But I’m someone who feels better when I have as much information as possible before making a decision.
