Montessori Probability in PG county?

[Anonymous]

Is there anywhere that the statistics are posted for PG County lotteries, # of applicants and slots etc.? Can't seem to find this info on their website.

Not that I know of. You could call and ask for it, I'm sure they have it on hand.

To clarify, you could call/email the Curriculum and Instruction Office. Don't call the individual schools, they won't have that data.

From my experience,
Probability of getting in in PreK3-K is low because demand is high.
Probability of getting in for upper grades is higher because only kids who have had at least a year of Montessori are eligible. Kids leave because they move, decide the school isn't the right fit, get into a different specialty program etc and the pool of folks who can apply is fairly small.

Hoyer has ~40 kids per lower grade, Hanson as about 55 per lower grade, Godard has ~50 per lower grade. Those numbers might be higher in Pre-K.
You can look at the enrollment for each grade by school on the PGCPS site.
