[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you OP?  Also, you realize the 12 choices in the common lottery include most charters right?

On the hill:
- if they can keep the principal, my money's on JO Wilson.  Not much about it here on DCUM, but the principal is publicly and actively courting neighbors.  They have a population that's a little challenging, but it seems like they want parents who are willing to put some elbow grease in for Long term results.
- If LT gets a welcoming principal, that wants the neighbors to attend, it's over getting in there OOB - that place will be hotter than Maury in a hot second because the neighborhood is increasingly high-SES
-  I think Payne and Miner are still going to have a tough time with their populations.  If DC General gets shut down, Payne may see a turn, but not in time for you to stick it out long term.  
- Tyler still needs work... Just not the right administration/teacher balance.  The SI program is a placeholder while people pray for MV
- I'd bet on Van Ness of it is an option, but I doubt you'll be alone. [/quote]

I concur with this assessment.  [/quote]

J.O. Wilson is well on its way to becoming an inbound destination school, but will need a cohort of PS3 & PS4 students who stay. I know many folks who were planning for their PS3 kids to attend (before the new principal) but bailed when offered a spot at a charter.  I've met the new principal and think she's fantastic. Not sure when there will be "critical mass" for Capitol Hill parents to start sending their kids in droves, but it will likely be a good choice following Ludlow-Taylor.[/quote]
