[quote=Anonymous]I think waitlists (at least for PK3) have moved less this year than in previous years, based on what we've seen on our waitlists compared to what has been reported in previous years. It's hard to say exactly why because there are many factors that impact waitlists, but I think the late enrollment date combined with all the uncertainty this summer, especially for DCPS, has made a lot fo people wary of making a move. Also, I don't think any schools are adding PK classrooms as they sometimes do post-enrollment deadline if they have the resources and space. Budgets are in emergency mode, not growth mode, even at those newish charters that have been aggressively growing their student population in recent years (Stokes East End, Lee, etc.).

The one exception is Capital Hill Montessori. We've moved up 150 spots on their waitlist, which sounds like its not an uncommon experience in past year. I don't totally get why that school always has such an active waitlist, but nothing about that has changed this year.[/quote]
