[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. We are a ward 4 family zoned for Truesdell. We are putting DCB, Haynes, Creative Minds, John Lewis at top of list but I don’t know what else/how to rank the rest of our spots. Spanish is a priority, but not excited about LAMB and it being Montessori for later elementary years. I guess we’ll put stokes on there, but not excited about commute. The tests scores look abysmal nearly across the board. Would love some thoughts. If you’re not inbound for dcps, do you not even bother putting them in the list? Some look like they take no oob kids if you don’t have any priority category, is that right? Feeling disheartened by this board and my kid is only 3![/quote]

Do Bethune for the Spanish for pre-K, then by kindergarten you’ll either have DCB/LAMB/Stokes, or you can choose between Lewis, Powell, Bruce Monroe, Takoma, etc. All have a very solid high SES population that is active and forms a peer group. I wouldn’t list CMI unless you are okay with those test scores. [/quote]

None of these schools feed into a good middle school.[/quote]

I know…so what do you suggest I do then?[/quote]

Not PP, but temper your expectations. It's just very unlikely that the PK3 lottery is going to get anyone guaranteed access to a good middle school. But 1st grade and up, it's much much easier to lottery into Deal and Hardy feeders, plus you have the option of trying for Latin in 5th. [/quote]

Deal and Hardy have major issues and good luck with that commute from elementary in for 8-10 years.  Honestly, I would just move to burbs in elementary if you struck out to good school pyramid.  Good schools, buses to school, bigger place, etc..[/quote]
