1 Brent Elementary School In-boundary Waitlisted - #28
2 Capitol Hill Montessori School @ Logan Waitlisted - #188
3 Creative Minds International PCS Waitlisted - #173
4 Washington Yu Ying PCS Waitlisted - #191
5 Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS Waitlisted - #311
6 School-Within-School Waitlisted - #252
7 Tyler Elementary School (Dual Language) - English Dominant Waitlisted - #99
8 Lee Montessori PCS Waitlisted - #146

If you think that is bad luck, you need to see some other lists. We are #401 at Creative minds.

At #401 on any WL there's zen peace the phone will never ring. With these numbers we could be moving...or is it equally hopeless?

We did add Eagle and a few others..

FYI Sela is looking to bring on another teacher and hopes to expand PK in case it's not on your lists yet..

Any word on this? We will also be leaving this year if they move in time for the fall.

Your list is hopeless for all but AT.

#11 Inspired Teaching
#24 Cap City
#27 Two Rivers - 4th

Inspired Teaching seems possible to likely by the count deadline, but what about the other two? All our other WL numbers are in the impossible zone.

Swami doesn't understand if people are sorting by WL number or true preference, but if true preference, you will be at ITS before August playdates kick off.

Our true pref order is Two Rivers, Cap City, then ITS. Inverted from our waitlist chances (though I'm not sure we even have a chance at Cap City or Two Rivers??).

Seriously. SWS has 30 Pk3 students, and adds 12-13 more for Pk4.

So for #15 to get in, every single person who matched would need to turn the spot down and 2 PK3 students would have to decide to leave.

I know it's a great school, but these wait lists just don't move very much.

I get that the school might not go deep into the waitlist, but not all matched kids have to decline to get to #15 on the waitlist. It’s a combination of matches declining, pk3 attrition and waitlisted families declining.

But there just isnt' ever any PK3 attrition there. Maybe 1-2 people move, but that's it.

They won’t be moving until the following school year.
