[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]here are our results for our 4 year old.  she's in AppleTree-LP right now (which we love)

RANK	SCHOOL NAME	PREFERENCES	STATUS Status Definitions	NEXT STEPS
1	School-Within-School		Waitlisted - #50	
2	Maury Elementary School		Waitlisted - #79	
3	Ludlow-Taylor Elementary School		Waitlisted - #19	
4	Brent Elementary School		Waitlisted - #54	
5	Peabody Elementary School		Match (enrollment pending)

I think we'll stay w/AppleTree-LP and roll again next year?   Peabody is tempting but Watkins doesn't seem popular?  Ludlow Taylor also tempting, assuming at 19 we'd have a shot[/quote]

I would submit a post-lottery application at JOW and Payne. Maybe Tyler too but I think you'd only have a shot at English track and I don't know about it. Apple Tree has no feed so I would not want to get stuck waiting to strike gold for next year or later. You need an elementary school.

JOW will be a tricky couple years in their swing space but then your kid would spend 1st-5th at their brand new campus, and I think you'll see a lot of buy in once that opens too. They have a could core group of parents and the PTA gets better every year. It's not a perfect school but definitely about to be on the upswing.

Payne is solid. Not great, not terrible. But I'd rather be in PK4 at Payne, knowing I could stay there for K/1st/2nd, than at Apple Tree with no plan.

And if you wind up at either of these schools, you can lottery again next year and hope you get a better spot with the expansion for K that often happens. Plenty of kids on the Hill wind up jumping schools for PK4 and again for K or 1st -- at that age it doesn't matter.[/quote]

Tyler/Chisolm is all Spanish now, depending on if you want that. Payne rarely makes it to OOB kids in ECE that are not siblings, so you could put it on there, but it may not be realistic. Although as somebody who has been there for multiple kids for many years, I can say it is a school you could stay at. [b]JO Wilson is about to do a renovation/swing space which is a good thing, but will impact commute for a bit.[/b] [/quote]

But not in a bad way for a Miner boundary family. Swing space is the one up by TR Young that SWS used. So a closer commute than the actual JO campus (which is going to be really nice once renovated -- Perkins Eastman is doing it and they did several others in DC including John Lewis which I really like).

I get PP is happy at Apple Tree, but the point is that it doesn't go past ECE. I'd seriously consider other options if it were me. Both Payne and JOW are decent options that are easy commutes but will last past K in case the lottery doesn't cut PP's way. I would not assume that those two options will be easy to get into when PP is ready -- trends are moving against that.[/quote]
