[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The negative responses here are way too much. Pipe down if you don’t have anything productive to say, people.

My one (productive) quibble with the above advice about Thomson is that the drive to MacArthur is easier on the highway than  cutting across downtown. I would prioritize schools for your younger near the highway. [/quote]

This is tough love so other people know to come to us sooner. It is painful that OP created this dilemma for herself by simply very poorly understanding the lottery, IB and housing options. We could have set her up! [/quote]

+1.  She prioritized space over her kids school.  She listed schools in the lottery that she knew was not anywhere close to where she decided to live.  Now at the last hour, she realizes it js not an easy commute when she could have easily known that before buying and committing to Hillcrest and now she is scrambling last minute for any options.

Her current predicament was avoidable numerous times in this whole process.

OP here… this isn’t true at all… my location of where I planned to live shifted at the last minute due to my oldest needing to come home based on health issues, as well as none of my initial preferred neighborhoods working out. Had I been in brookland my youngest would be close at stokes and my oldest could metro to McA or I could take her. Either way one would have been in neighborhood.

Did I come on here asking for thoughts becuase I realized none of my waitlists were moving yes… am I also less familiar with the dcps options in my new digs also yes.

I do appreciate what has been said with a helpful tone. [/quote]
