[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turned down MV two years in a row to stay at Bancroft. It may not be a MV, but we like being at our neighborhood school that is part of our community, we like having school friends who live nearby, and we love our 2 block walk to school. I watch those MV families hurrying to catch their school buses at Lamont St. park at 7:20 am in the morning and think, so glad we stayed put! Plus they are paying $125/month or something for bus and $450/month for aftercare, while we have no commuting costs and pay less than half that for aftercare. Think about it hard if you are debating between the two![/quote]

How did you get in to MV twice? And why did you apply a second time when you already turned it down?[/quote]
Applied two years in a row (did not take spot first time), got lucky both times.

Applied because Bancroft is not perfect (what school is?), the lottery is free, it's easy, takes about 5 minutes to sign up. This is part of the craziness of DC's lottery system--it's so easy to apply (especially now with common application), if you have even the slightest doubts about where you are, there's little incentive not do to throw in your ticket.

But last year after spending a few days agonizing about whether to move our kid (for the second time), I decided I had finally had enough. No lottery for us this year, we are staying put.[/quote]
