But what would be the point of it being an open house if you didn't see the school while students were there?

Did you find any hidden gems?


I’d like to know this too. I’d like to know what schools that aren’t usually spoken highly about here impressed people.

My son is looking for a high school. It was helpful for my DC. He spoke to students and admins and he has a much better list now.

We will follow up with open houses at his top 2-3 choices.

Didn’t go. Our Ib is a good school and hoping to get a spot there for prek4. All charters seem to be impossible to get into just like other schools nearby.

I wish that DC would send that amateur chancellor Antwad W. back to Oakland from whence he came.

The chance to make a more informed decision about which schools to lottery for and the rank you should give to each.

It is the kick off to lottery season-- good luck incoming PK3, 6th and 9th parents, and those looking for a better fit.
