Stevens early learning center

My son was offered a spot for prek3.

Is this even a desirable school? Since we were high waitlists numbers for other schools I assume maybe not.

Any information on this school?

[Anonymous]

It is desirable because of its location.

Also it’s brand new- I know tons of people who put it on their list (including us). It’s going to be in a beautiful newly renovated building. I think it’s going to be great!

Your "high" waitlist you posted on another thread is 30ish for a school that is 100% inbound. "High" waitlist numbers are numbers in the 300s and 400s.

We were matched there too. Will we get open house info?

[Anonymous]

Also matched there but didn't go to open house. Not sure how i feel about it yet.

You do know what is going on in the world right now, right? Are you really asking about an open house?

242 non-at-risk families applied for 48 seats.

48 kids got in, 76 were waitlisted, and the rest got matched at schools they ranked higher.

All 20 of the kids with at-risk preference were also admitted.

What I don't know is whether they'll allow non-at-risk kids on the waitlist to take the extra 13 slots reserved for at-risk that went unfilled. What I'd love to see them do first is check with homeless shelters and other places at-risk families get services to see if anyone wants to do a post-lottery application, and then fill any remaining slots with not-at-risk families shortly before the school year begins.

One challenge with Stevens is that it only has PK3 and 4, so anyone with an older kid might prefer a location where the kids can be together.

I believe I recall from the planning docs that the at risk seats will be held open. I'm sure they can swiftly fill them via Early Stages and other DCPS social workers.

I wonder how many of the kids who got regular spots by having good numbers are actually at-risk.

That would depend on how it was coded. Possibly none of them, if it was coded to have them use the preference before using a regular seat.

So I got in with a pk3 and pk4 (one sibling pref, can’t remember) and I’d essentially have to play lottery for K again next year right? I’m thinking I messed up our orders by putting this somewhere in the middle. I didn’t actually think We’d get in. Whoops

yeah, there's no feeder. It's basically like Appletree in that regard.
