Second year in a row locked out of lottery. I am PISSED. A high 200s at Latin. 100s. 75 at one school. My feeder patterns are JEFFERSON for a kid that scores 4s and 5s on PARCC. I HATE THIS SHIT.


Jefferson isn’t a bad school.


Did I say it was? What I said was I have a high achieving kid that doesn’t require the kind of awesomesuperGod wraparound support that Jefferson provides. Great principal, A+ with regard to giving his kids the structure that they may not otherwise be getting. Highly recommend it for families that need it. That’s not us.


Well yeah, it sounded like you think your kid is too good for Jefferson. Enjoy your move to NW/MD/VA!


Then stand corrected. Don’t act like my post is unique. My job is to research schools that would be a good fit for us. Stand down.

I think your karma and sense of entitlement clearly must have affected your master number.

It is a lottery. Your kid's 4s and 5s do not make them any more worthy of Washington Latin than anyone else.


Keep reading.

I don’t believe in Karma.

The only thing that affected my SPOT is MY ADDRESS which is an issue of EQUITY NOT KARMA.


Your address keeps you out of a DCPS you like. It has nothing to do with whether you get into Washington Latin.

You would probably be unhappy with the WL academics anyway. It really isnt' more advanced than Jefferson.

You’re not last: we got 374 for CMI .


Oh no! Sorry you are in the same boat. Hope you got placed somewhere!


We got incredibly lucky and got placed at LAMB,but didn’t get placed in the big lottery. I still need to tour the school and ask some questions but we’ll likely enroll our daughter there.

Move IB to Hardy.
My kid has never scored less than 5s. Doesn't do his homework and missed lots of days of school. Jefferson doesn't suck, you elementary sucks.


Doesn’t sound like a match for us. Take care.
