1-27 are in for PK3
1-5 are in for PK4
1 is in for K

But this isn't actually published anywhere. It's just being repeated over and over again in this thread.

I called Friday to inquire about the PreK4 list and was told they admitted 5 from that list. I wish I had a sense of how much movement is realistic!

Any ideas on how much if any movement is typical for the wait list?

Last year there was quite a bit of movement, but that was because they unexpectedly expanded and added new preschool seats.

Not much movement until after enrollment for the common lottery.

They went into the mid-40s by the time school had started. But remember that they opened up two additional classes at that point.

Last 2 years PK3 got into at least 50s. I think higher last year. Good luck!!

They usually make sure siblings get in together.

Why don't they let in after K again? And how do that they get away with that - this is a public school.

This is basic stuff. Do a DCUM search.

Additionally I'm so tired of people going to DCUM and trying to get their second grader with no language background in an immersion school. Be realistic. Don't wreck your poor child's self esteem so you can tell people they speak mandarin. It's sad.

You do know not all people are white moms on DCUM? You do know it's possible that a mom of a student that speaks better Spanish than your snowflake can also be on DCUM right?

(1) not a white parent
(2) than do a basic DCUM search and go educate yourself. This has been covered extensively.

PP you quoted. I was a NP. I just wanted to point out that there are native Spanish folks in DC. I understand that LAMB doesn't accept after a certain grade and gave no issue with it, but you shouldn't assume all posters don't have language background. Regardless of your race, your post was very narrow minded.

Cool. And you assumed right back I had no Spanish background. So pot, meet kettle.

Not at all. Snowflakes can have Spanish speaking parents. You are the one that assumed anyone asking didn't speak Spanish.

They might get to the 20s. At best.

PK4 Is always feast of famine. Lots of spaces in an expansion year and sometimes as low as zero in a regular year.

We had a very good number for pk3 but have heard nothing from them. Was hoping for a call on Monday. But based on 1-27, I guess we are in.
