How do I read this? Burroughs Elementary PK3 - 30 matched, and none of those are in-boundary?

Seriously. I badly wanted this last year! So glad it's back.

Someone download and save in case DME changes their mind.

Done.

Burroughs pk3- 30 matched
7 early action (guaranteed inbound, so those are your inbound kids)
6 with siblings (not inbound)
17 with no preference (so likely Noyes, Langdon, Bunker Hill families)

Because there are kids on the waitlist, I'm assuming the four extra seats are held for early stages placements.

I am confused by Langley. It has 28 offered and 32 matched, how could that be? And then still 4 unmatched, yet a significant waitlist. Burroughs makes sense to me, 30+4=34. Can anyone explain?

Truxton mom -- are you inbound for Langley? If so, how are there IB families on the waitlist given the school's early action status.

Langley is an early action school, meaning any IB who listed it is supposed to be admitted. They anticipated 28, and got 32 IB students. So they don't at the moment have a place for them (remember this is current as of 3/31).

At other schools when this has happened, they added an additional Pk3 section and went on to fill it with OOB from the WL.

I am inbound for Walker-Jones but we would like to send DD to Langley with her friends. It seems like we have one of the worst numbers in the city But I am still hopeful of getting in eventually.

I think the IBs on the waitlist must have been post-lottery additions? I do know someone IB who matched elsewhere and then decided to add Langley after seeing all the friends who matched there.

What's the difference between IB with sibling accepted vs. IB with sibbling enrolled (on the waitlist column)?

That makes sense. IF you add post-lottery, early action doesn't apply. But if they have to create a new class to accommodate the IB students who did apply before round 1.

Sibling enrolled - example sibling currently attending school there

Sibling accepted - imagine twins applying for PreK3. 1 drew a great # and the other twin moves up on the waitlist

Wow Peabody had another monster year. 45 in-bounds pk3 kids waitlisted.

Wait, so after all the drama, Janney only has 32 kids on the IB waitlist for PK? And they are forming some sort of union to protest?

Noticing that fact made me giggle too. Other schools have higher percentages of shut out IB pk4ers
