[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would suggest going to Haynes unless you love Powell and will stay until 5th and then move. Sure, you could try to lottery for middle, but I would be prepared to move after fifth if you stay at Powell.[/quote]

OP here: This is the core of our dilemma. We love Powell, but we are worried about what comes after. Will this be our only lottery "win" and we have to move, or will either McFarland really improve post-renovation or we get another decent lottery option for 6th?[/quote]

Don't leave a school you 'love' and is working for your kids out of fear for something 4-5 years off. Go to ELH if you are truly excited about what it has to offer your kids. If it's just "safer" or more predictable you will always wonder if you made the right decision.

Yes, there is a risk. But there are more options at the middle school level -- DCI, Oyster Adams (where they can continue with advanced language); McFarland and OOB potential at Brookland and Hardy. Also middle school is a growth year at ELH, Cap City and 5th/6th is the entry point for Basis, Latin and Washington Global.

Please don't come to Oyster!!!  Take your bigotry elsewhere.[/quote]
