I think LAMB did not participate in the unified lottery, so perhaps that's why? |

Neither did YY, Stokes, or CM and they are all on the list. |

I don't think the numbers can be right. We're #6 on the waiting list for 5th grade at Basis, according to myschool.org, and we haven't heard anything yet. |

| Looks like the most popular charter for PK3 is Two Rivers -- 563 on the waitlist. Interestingly, I am middle of the pack for TR on the waitlist and right at the end for a bunch of other schools (Bridges, MV, DC Bilingual, and pretty much every DCPS I applied to). |

Agree with this. There are schools that have seats available, e.g., Seaton did not fill its entire PK3 class. |

| The numbers for 2R, CM, YY, and Stokes are probably a little inflated -- although impressive regardless -- since they were outside the unified lottery and didn't have to squeeze into anyone's 12 picks. |

Two Rivers most definitely is in the common lottery, and also the longest wait list. |

| 2R was not outside the common lottery. |

To the LAMB poster, I heard on Monday that everyone (in PK3) accepted their spots. Of course things can always change, but it seems like it's unlikely to happen in the near-term.
(But their waitlist numbers are also posted on their website if you'd like to stay current/obsessively check in: http://www.lambpcs.org/news/2014/3/26/enrollment-application-results-for-school-year-2014-2105.html) |

I also heard that enrollment paperwork was not due until yesterday, so maybe there is still hope... |

| FYI, I just checked with my top choice and they say that even though this data is up, they won't have the updated enrollment data until Monday. |

| Sorry, I was the poster who mistakenly said 2R was outside the unified lottery -- as noted above, they in fact participated, which makes their waitlist numbers all the more impressive. |

| We applied to 2R as our 12th spot just because we had an open slot but it was certainly not our popular pick. I'd like to see which schools were ranked in top 3 the most. |

Most interesting are the Tier 1 schools with open seats. Options to consider for folks who were not matched in Round 1.
http://www.dcpcsb.org/News-Room.aspx?ID=412 Achievement Preparatory Academy PCS – Middle (Ward 8) has 61 seats open in the fourth grade; Achievement Prep Academy PCS – Elementary (Ward 8) has 16 seats open in kindergarten; Cesar Chavez PCS for Public Policy - Chavez Prep (Ward 1) has 53 seats in the sixth and seventh grades; KIPP DC – AIM Academy PCS (Ward 8) has 25 seats in the fifth grade; KIPP DC – Connect Academy PCS (Ward 5) has 19 seats in PK3; KIPP DC – Northeast Academy PCS (Ward 5) has 63 seats in the fifth and sixth grades; KIPP DC - WILL Academy PCS (Ward 6) has 17 seats in the fourth grade; Paul PCS - Middle School (Ward 4) has four seats in the eighth grade; and Washington Mathematics Science and Technology PCS (Ward 5) has 110 seats across grades nine through twelve. |

I thought WMST was closing. Or is it just moving from Bladensburg Road? |
