[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -can you clarify what "preference" means for member schools getting a spot at DCI?  Our daughter is in PreK3 at DCB and we were told when we applied/enrolled (I know we are very lucky) that DCB students were guaranteed a spot, but that as other member schools added new campuses, those students may have to apply to their own schools' lotteries in order to gain spots at DCI.  DCB has not added any classrooms or campuses, so does the preference vs. guaranteed spot apply to DCB students?[/quote]

Each elementary gets a specified number of slots for 6th grade admissions.  The term "preference" is used because that's the word for the different priority groups- "sibling preference", "founder preference", "employee preference", etc.  Graduates of a feeder school have first preference for that number of slots.  As long as the number of graduates is lower than the number of slots assigned to that feeder school that year, the 6th grade seat at DCI is guaranteed.[/quote]
