Martin Austermuhle (@maustermuhle) is at the LAMB lottery and tweeting about it, if anyone is interested. He’s a reporter with WAMU.
Apparently they have no seats for PK4 or K. |

This was one of his tweets below, this is insane...
So the drawing is done on a computer that's projected on to a big screen. For PK3, 644 applicants for 25 seats. For PK4, 364 applicants for 0 expected seats. For K, 234 applicants for 0 expected seats. |

This just means they aren't filling seats in the initial lottery - if there is attrition at those grades later in the year, I'd expect that they will move the waiting list. Though the vagaries of Montessori (PK3-K in one classroom) and LAMB also mean that they can adjust class sizes by simply admitting more PK3 kids, which I think has been their general inclination in the past. |

| All thw K spots go to PK3 siblings, right? |

| There's also so much not known about how the school location will affect the rate of students returning next year. I would anticipate many more seats might open up - especially if families were trying to lottery in to other schools. |

That’s what happened last year. |

And not yet knowing which buildings they will occupy next year means they can't know if they will be able to add anymore class rooms, as they have been able to do for the last few years. The lengthy process to get approval for the Kingsbury site means nothing is certain for next year yet. |
