DCPS Round 1 My School DC Results Posted

I have a neighbor that is not in the Lafayette school district but they told me their son got into Lafayette (for either PK or K, I'm not sure) for next year through the lottery. Given what I know about Lafayette, I find it extremely hard to believe that there would be any out-of-bound students getting in throught the lottery.

Check the school and grade on the results link: http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Learn+About+Schools/Lottery+and+Admissions:+Apply+to+Our+Schools/DCPS+Round+One+My+School+DC+Results

For each grade, you'll see the number of students who were accepted with in boundary status or various preferences. There were no OOB students matched for PK4 at Lafayette; but for kindergarten, there were 4 students matched with no preference and one who has a sibling enrolled.

On the DCPS profile page, there is the in-boundary percentage, which is the percentage of kids attending the school who live within the boundaries. In some other materials they publish the "in-boundary participation rate" which is the percentage of kids who live in-boundary who attend public schools who attend that school. So for example, Cardozo has an in-boundary percentage of 51% ( out of 681 students in the school 347 live in-boundary) and an in-boundary participation rate of 17% (out of 2043 kids who attend public high school and live in-boundary 347 attend the school).

The in-boundary participation rate includes kids who attend any public school -- DCPS or charter -- but does not include kids who go private.

Yeah, this is really pretty foul.

I'm not at Hearst but I know families there who don't have this attitude at all and wouldn't be pleased with the way you're representing them. Out of Boundary for Hearst can be a five minute drive away in Crestwood or Mount Pleasant, so what is it you're trying to say about people who live in those places?

As a parent of one of those 6 OOB PK4 kids, I certainly hope that you are not representative of the Hearst community at large. I have actually heard that it is a great and welcoming group, but you sound exceedingly nasty. I wonder if my child, and by extension our whole family, will be "desirable" enough for you. We have a decent (but not huge) HHI, so I don't know if that will meet your standards. We live in an EOTP condo (but we own it, so maybe that is okay with you), and while I like to splurge at the neighborhood farmers market, I buy all of my kid's clothing from Target. I hope my kid doesn't somehow sully your special snowflake with all of our OOB baggage.

Thanks for the kind welcome.

Hi - current Hearst K parent (and PK in 2015) here. PPs with incoming PK kids - please realize the snarky PP is NOT AT ALL representative of the broader community at Hearst. I would not be surprised if it's just a troll trying to stir up trouble. All the kiddos at Hearst are Owls and no one cares where they live. A number of OOB families have been choosing Hearst and supporting and helping to build the school for years which is terrific. The fact that more IB families recently have been choosing Hearst is a testament to the good work the principal, the teachers (a number of whom have been there 10+ years) and all families IB and OOB have been putting in. On top of that the number they quote is not entirely accurate. There were 6 PK 4 spots with "no preference" and another 8 with sibiling accepted preference (no IB preference) PLUS 3 proximity preference which means in the neighborhood but not IB. So of the 39 spots matched in PK-4 lottery 22 were IB and 17 were not. great mix. great school.

and PP who shops at Target - we're right there with 'ya with a nice sprinkling of hand-me-downs from cousins and great yard sale finds too! and not that it matters but we are IB.

Hearst welcomes all and I'm so sorry that someone chose to post a negative message about the school; it simply does not reflect Hearst's community at large.

Some of the numbers are a little shocking. Over 1700 wait listed for Two Rivers and 400 seats still available at Meridian.

Has anyone been able to find consolidated charter school waitlist info (I know some individual schools have posted it) that includes sibling data?

Thank you! Despite my angry message to the troll, I couldn't be happier that my child got a spot at Hearst. It seems like a great school, and I know that we were really lucky to get a spot. Excuse the lottery pun, but I feel like we hit the jackpot.

A huge welcome to you from another current IB family. Both IB and OOB families make Hearst a great school. We are glad that you are joining us.

Yes the IB percentage for the whole school is something like 18%.

Hearst seems to be "flipping" just as fast as Ross did.

If the proposed boundary change goes through there will likely be no space for OOB students in future incoming classes.

in defense of the perceived snarky IB parent (whom I don't know, whom I am not, and also am not a current or potential Hearst parent, IB or OOB).

Perhaps they were saying -- isn't it nice that more IB parents are choosing a great little school like Hearst -- and by extension -- wouldn't it be nice if parents in other parts of the city had an IB choice as attractive as Hearst.

Does anyone have access to the original Round 1, or even updated lottery results. Not the number of vacant seats, but how things shook out as far as stats on who was accepted. I would really appreciate some help through a link or saved doc perhaps.

We have move in a few months but have no idea what the demand will be like for some of the PK-4 schools we may become in-bounds for during the next lottery.
This link is no longer working for me: http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Learn+About+Schools/Lotter...Round+One+My+School+DC+Results

Please can anyone help me out.
TIA!

Thanks so much! Didn't think there would be an updated version. This is a huge help. Now I'll just need to be posting my questions about the data inconsistencies!
