The gift horse gets you into BASIS. You play out your HRCS middle school with some trepidation instead because you aren't loving the hours of homework.

Thanks Swami. Forgot to mention that we’re IB for Deal. Would probably only leave our school for Latin.

1st grade and PK3:

1. Stokes Brookland Spanish
2. Stokes Brookland French
3. Mundo Verde
4. DC Bilingual
5. Inspired Teaching
6. Ludlow-Taylor
7. Two Rivers 4th
8. Two Rivers Young
9. JO Wilson
10. Seaton
11. Langley

For PK3:
1. Stokes Brookland Spanish
2. Stokes Brookland French
3. Mundo Verde
4. DC Bilingual
5. Inspired Teaching
6. Two Rivers 4th
7. Two Rivers Young
8. JO Wilson
9. Seaton
10. Langley
11. Our IB, where our older child already attends.

5th Grade - no preferences but want to leave EOTP elementary and still possibly keep SH feed

1. Latin
2. Ludlow Taylor
3. Creative Minds
4. Inspired Teaching
5. Basis

Does Swami adjudicate marital lottery disputes? Here is our list, for PK3, IB at Noyes.

1. Yu Ying
2. Stokes Spanish
3. Stokes French
4. Mundo Verde
5. Inspired Teaching
6. Lee
7. Two Rivers 4th
8. Two Rivers Young
9. Shining Stars
10. JO Wilson
11. Bruce-Monroe (English dominant)
12. Langley

DH believes that not listing Noyes, our IB, is a good plan because we can add it back right after the lottery and would jump the list. I would have preferred to eliminate Bruce-Monroe as too unlikely and keep Noyes to avoid the uncertainty. What does Swami think?

Military. Would be fine at IB but also trying for schools near work and JBAB bus schools.

K, no sibiling

Thank you, Swami. Glad you are feeling better.

You are Raymond bound. You will stay enthusiastic about it. You will watch your WL numbers at HA and actually receive an offer from AT-CH but decide to go with your kid's birthday party friends who also ended up at Raymond

Thanks! Mirrors what we have been expecting to happen...

3rd grade sib and 2nd grade sib (same list minus Latin and BASIS. Already IB at Shepherd.

Why take your child out of Shepherd for 5th grade???? Deal in another year.

Our kids are not at Deal. We are IB for Deal, but they are at a HRCS. We have friends at Shepherd dealing with bullying issues in the older grades, so we don’t want to them there.

+1, I was wondering the same thing. Maybe PP is one of those playing for fun.

That's too bad. It's a great school. I haven't heard of any recent bullying issues, but then again I don't have my finger on the pulse of what's going on in the upper grades.

Bullying is at every school. Shepherd is a small school so if there is 1 case of bullying then it’s labeled as “ongoing problem) vs a Lafayette where it can be diluted out because of the numbers.

Swami needs to know if you have any preferences? (IB, etc?)
