To add, I would be fine with Gunston, I really liked the vibe at the information night.

Williamsburg is pretty small right now- you could look for a neighborhood transfer there or Hamm. We have been really happy with Williamsburg. Transportation is up to you, though.

Most years the comprehensive middle schools offer "neighborhood transfers." The window will open in the spring - keep an eye out for School Talks about it. They actually prioritized getting kids out of the Gunston zone into other schools last year since it was so overcrowded. It's a lottery - the only catch is that if you get a spot, they don't provide transportation.

Apply for a transfer to Dorothy Hamm. It is under capacity.

Gunston is overcrowded, so you can likely get a neighborhood transfer.

I thought you to lottery to another school.
My kids go to bilingual program at Gunston and we are happy with it (other than the equity based grading system). What concerns you?

Go back in time and buy a house somewhere you're excited about?

Are there any other options? Aside from HB Woodlawn, which is so small and popular that it’s not realistically an option.
