[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to Petworth when our oldest was 2 and are pleased with the quality of the nearby DCPS school (it was not our IB but was closer than our IB because of the boundaries.)  Many couples we knew in our Adams Morgan days have moved to Arlington or Mo Co but most of them also had family or worked in those areas. Many other friends have stayed and we are among those who aren't at a charter (Inspired Teaching, Munde Verde etc.) 
I don't feel that that charters and OOB is holding back our two local neighborhood schools. They both have long waitlists! If anything, more and more middle class professionals are doing the lottery, doing preschool here, visiting an array of DCPS schools and charters and realizing the potential that exists here in the city. Instead of dismissing the local schools out of hand and moving.  [/quote]

Any post like this and the OPs is discredited. The OOB lottery is the same in this argument as a charter. You are not attending your IB school.

How so? OP said the school her child attends is CLOSER than her IB school. A true definition of neighborhood school if you ask me, as it literally resides in her neighborhood. And you are faulting her because of a mere technically that her child school lies outside of the boundary? Grow up.[/quote]

Aw cute. PS parents are out posting tonight![/quote]
