[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks! So does this mean they take all in boundary kids before others that aren’t, even if they have better numbers? [/quote]

Yes. And at some schools being IB isn’t enough if there are few seats and lots of IB siblings. [/quote]

Got it. Thanks all! Looking at pk3 and starting to feel like there’s a lot of info to wade through. [/quote]

Watch the video. Give your IB a lot of though and attention, since that is your most likely option. If logistically possible, consider DCPS' city-wide preschools (CHML, SWS, new Stevens school) where you have a better shot (only siblings to compete against/no IB preferences).

THen move on to charters.

Decide what's most important =- school you want to be in through 5th? Something to tide you over until you have guaranteed access to your IB for K (DCPS preschools are all similar and all pretty high quality)? A special program, such as dual=language or Montessori?

That will make it easier to decide what information to focus on.

Good luck. And remember you will probably end up at your IB.[/quote]

Thank you! Our IB is west, and I would be happy with that. But our daughter is at a Spanish speaking daycare.  It has been very cool to see her learn both languages, and I'd love to see her in a dual Spanish/English program, but they look incredibly competitive. [/quote]

For DCPS - unless you are willing to drive EOTR, the dual language schools are the longest of shots for an OOB, English dominant child. For a dual language charter, there are no preferences for out of bound, and language dominance is irrelevant. You have as good a shot there as anyone else without a sibling.  [/quote]
