[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay then, charter or private. Pay close attention to commute when choosing a charter school. Contrary to what some will say, your chances of getting into a decent charter are good. Your chance of getting into one of the top charters listed above: not great.  Probably 30%[/quote]

Thanks. Commute is one of my top requirements. Dd busses to school now but if I had to get her there my commute would be awful. [/quote] so, if nyc has buses why can't DC?[/quote]

DCPS is a neighborhood school system - everyone assigned to a school within walking distance of their home. Exception only for kids with special needs, some of whom attend a school further away than their home school.

If you choose to go to an out of bound school within DCPS or a charter - you take on responsibility for transporting your kid.

But there are city buses readily available - and kids can get a pass to ride them for free.

NYC also has neighborhood schools. But for those who chose and get into gifted programs, there are busses. A friend of mine's kids take one even though the commute by public transport would be easy by DC standards (one subway line, just a few stops, only a couple blocks to walk). it makes me so jealous every time we compare notes on city living with kids!
