Is there a reason you don't want your kid at Key?

EL Haynes used to be a good option. I'm afraid it really isn't anymore.

May I ask why Lafayette is so far down the list? I think it is an amazing school.

Hoping to move back into our EOTP house and the commute would be brutal.

You will continue at Powell and start to think seriously about cashing out your 325k in equity and buying that SFH with a huge yard in MoCo.

You have a good shot for Hyde. Many families are jumping AHIP because of the swing plans, which I personally think is pretty silly. But great news for motivated OOB families.

You will get into Langley on lottery day, but with waitlist numbers in the single digits for Breakthrough, and in the 20s for Lee and Shining Stars. Your other numbers will be in the 60s, and you will ultimately settle at Lee, although you still want immersion/language. You will volunteer to be room parent and will bring the best snacks to the summer playdates.


Honestly, I would be satisfied with Langley as we have a neighbor who goes there and many of DD's nearby friends are IB for Langley. We are on the fence about Breakthrough pending location, but no matter where it moves to, Langley is on the way to work so it would likely be more convenient.
