[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For people warning against TR (I believe you, though I'm disappointed to hear it), what schools in the neighborhood would you include on a lottery list for middle-elementary? We have LT and Maury and will probably add SWS though I'm not sure it's a great family fit. I don't think we want to shift to Montessori at this point so CHML is out. We want to avoid Brent because we heard they are renovating soon and we don't want to deal with a swing space at the end of elementary.

What other schools should we consider? Payne? Tyler? Watkins? We'd like to have 5 or 6 schools on our list to give us the best possible option of gettingb in somewhere.[/quote]

You will not get into these schools unless you have a sibling there or inbounds. Hill public schools are hard to lotto in for anything K and under.[/quote]

The PP indicated middle elementary. I have been a parent at Payne since 2015, and while it is increasingly harder to get in if you are out of bounds, there are still many students from out of bounds. Not in ECE, but upper grades, yes. I am not at Tyler or Watkins, but based on data you can find here https://enrolldcps.dc.gov/node/61,all three of these schools pull kids without in bounds or sibling preference. Depending on your grade Tyler dual language may be trickier b/c I think they require you to have some Spanish at a certain point? [/quote]

Watkins didn't fill a single grade this year, so I'm confident it's not true that no one can get in.[/quote]
