Great Speech Therapist & Special Education Teachers (a couple hours per week push-out & push-in services)

DCPS with a offer or realistic chance???
11) Burroughs Elementary School #22
12) Raymond Education Campus #14
13) Dorothy I. Height Elementary School- Offer Extended (would currently drop us from Barnard & Truesdell?)
14) Barnard Elementary School #74
15) Truesdell Education Campus #21
16) Bunker Hill Elementary School - Offer Extended
Wait listed in 100's, possibly a slim chance?
6) Shining Stars Montessori Academy PCS: Waitlisted - #125
7) Bridges PCS: Waitlisted - #118
8) E.L. Haynes PCS - Elementary School: Waitlisted - #152
9) Two Rivers PCS at Young: Waitlisted - #163
Probably not worth worrying about all waitlisted listed in the 200-400's

Does Bridges know that your child has an IEP/ISFP or receives services? It might get you some priority there. Apparently some schools are allowed to offer that. It used to be that a low number could get you in, but that's before the permanent building.

+1. OP, you seem a bit frantic and disoriented. The truth is, none of your realistic options are the ones that higher SES parents would choose all the way through elementary. All are fine for PK and maybe lower elementary though.

You'll get into Burroughs later this summer-- most likely in July.

Any insight into Raymond or Burroughs? We would like to find a school we will be comfortable with for elementary at least.

DH and BH; similar. I'd go for the IB option.

How do you have 2 offers extended simultaneously?
I am not sure. BH was extended last week, it is our IB school, we have until tomorrow to enroll. We just got a email about DH today. I didn't realize it was unusual for this to happen?
Hi OP - if BH is your IB school, I encourage you to take the spot. Your commute will be better and I've heard on the Brookland listserv that parents are happy there for PK.

If you prefer Height to Bunker Hill (and I can't compare them, so you'd have to visit or just pick the one with the better commute) you can rearrange the schools if you want so that Height becomes your bottom choice, then accept it so at least you have a spot. Then you can stay on the other waitlists if you want.
I don't think that many DCPSs with boundaries (which Height does not) will be making offers until at least Labor Day. They'll want to see who moves in and who moves out and who actually shows up for the first couple weeks of school. So accept Height and hang out.
