[quote=Anonymous]Schools that have wait lists are supposed to stick with them even now that the lottery for next year has opened and last year's results have come off myschooldc (I know because we are moving back to DC next month and I've been trying to get an OOB or charter spot for an upper elementary kid too!)

In addition, the charters I contacted all said they did not take more kids after count day. Even schools where a lot of kids had left in that grade and they had open spots.

A school might break the rules for you and take you out of order on the waitlist (and believe me, any school you want has a waitlist, even the ones MSDC was saying had openings in your grade).  But toughing it out at BASIS, going to your IB school, or pulling your kid out of public school this year are the only things you have a right to do. When I looked into a few private schools (St. Peter's, Capitol Hill Day School), it seemed they didn't do mid-year admission but there's probably a private school that would. They might still need you to do the admissions test, shadow day, interview, etc. so it may not be a quick process.[/quote]
