[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At any school that has a larger K class than its PK4 class.  Mundo Verde P St is an example of that.  You can use the OSSE Enrollment Audit Data spreadsheet here to identify them.   https://osse.dc.gov/page/2019-20-school-year-enrollment-audit-report-and-data

One reason the K lottery is easier is that schools are no longer subject to the PK4 class size cap of 20.  They can go up to 24 quite comfortably, and over that if needed.  So most schools need a modest net increase of kids.  That adds some wiggle room into the whole system.  K is also when people tend to move to the burbs, because that's when they can start school there.  So there may be fewer applicants.[/quote]

Thanks, but I don’t see any particularly stand out options. Anyone know of DCPS schools that have spots open up often enough to be worth listing?[/quote]

Go figure--all the "stand out options" have waitlists. You are not the only person hoping for a K seat. Go to MySchoolDC, get yourself on the waitlists for any school you'd be willing to switch to from your current one, and hope to get lucky. This year's waitlist movements are going to be different from the recent past: some folks will homeschool, some will decide to use their IB instead of paying for private, some schools will not want OOB because they'll be trying to keep class sizes as small as possible, some schools might take just enough OOB to justify opening another classroom for a grade. Most of the decisions will be made in August or September. So nobody here is going to be able to give you reliable advice. But no, there isn't some secret amazing school with no K waitlist just hoping you'll come and enroll.[/quote]
