[quote=Anonymous]If it's this year, there are 2 main options:

move to the school zone you want your 3rd grader to be in and get on the pk4 wait list. You probably won't get in to most of them at this point so you'll be looking at private preK, maybe a charter or an out of bounds DCPS but probably not close by.

look at myschooldc for schools with PK short wait lists and start applying. if you move in bounds for that school your 3rd grader will have the right to go. These will not be the highest scoring schools but could be fine for a year.

if you're talking about 2022-3, you have a lot more flexibility. I'd look at Thomson, Seaton, Garrison, Cleveland (single language unless your kids already know Spanish), Hyde-Addison, and School Without Walls at Francis-Stevens if you want to be more central. Amidon-Bowen, Van Ness, JO Wilson, Ludlow-Taylor are possibilities in Southwest/Navy Yard/Capitol Hill. These are not the hardest schools at which to get a PK4 spot but sort of split the difference between ease of getting a spot and having decent test scores and being near metro. You could also look at Upper NW--good test scores and they have the advantage (for you) of starting at PK4 so all the kids with siblings are in the same boat, rather than having most of the class filled with kids who got in at PK3. But you're not guaranteed a spot at any of these.[/quote]
