2R Young and 2R 4th if you prefer them to Miner; otherwise, it doesn’t matter. Definitely Payne, JO Wilson and Tyler regular, I know OOBers that got into all 3 this past year.
I chose Miner over AT LP (got into the latter off the waitlist) after touring AT LP. Happy with my choice halfway+ through the year.
I wouldn’t list CHML since it’s in swing space in Columbia Heights for the next 2 years.

You're missing Wheatley, Center City Trinidad, Center City Capitol Hill, Friendship Blow-Pierce, Browne, and Friendship Chamberlain. I wouldn't rank any of them higher than the schools you already listed, but adding them could increase your chances of matching somewhere.

If you have a good enough number to get into SWS, you will get into Maury. Consider if SWS is more preferable to you.
Thanks for reply. Yeah, I meant Lincoln Park. I think I actually prefer Miner to AppleTree LC because it is in a larger school, has a nice playground for PKs, is close to home. The staff were really nice at an event I went to. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go to open houses for both.
I know everyone loves SWS, but Maury really is my first choice because I want kid to go to neighborhood school and have neighborhood friends. If by fluke he got into SWS but not Maury, I'd still probably be switching him back to Maury at K.
There actually is a chance you could get into SWS but not Maury — if you have an excellent number but Maury PK3 fills up entirely or almost entirely with siblings. (I’m assuming this is your first child). I would add JO, Payne and Tyler regular as places
You may have a chance. Also Appletree SW potentially.

Two Rivers PCS at 4th and at Young are two other options to consider. Many Hill families send their kids there. Cap Hill Montessori is another city-wide option, but will be in a swing space for a few years.

Cool, I will add Payne and JO Wilson to my list!
I think IB kids without siblings have a 10-20% chance at Maury, so I do need some backups. Langdon is too far. AppleTree OK Ave is a stretch for me but I'm including it.

I want to make sure I'm not overlooking any Cap Hill schools that my kid might have a shot at. I think I've got all the ones that he has any chance of getting into below. Am I missing anything?
1) Maury (IB)
2) SWS
3) Miner
4) AppleTree LC
5) AppleTree OK Ave
Other schools in the area are the following but my understanding is that they aren't worth listing because no chance.
Peabody
Brent
Ludlow-Taylor
JO Wilson
Tyler regular
Tyler immersion
Payne
