Choosing a different elementary school?

I have heard suprisingly little discussion of parents attempting to secure a place at the elementary site that they were not initially assigned to. I'd love to hear from others about their sense of how many applications there will be to switch elementary schools and about their own decision process in deciding whether to file such an application.

How are the design teams doing?

I thought it was time for a new thread to see how people evaulate the developments so far. Discuss on.
