[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a welcome development for many families.

What about children who have become bilingual/biliterate through home life, living abroad, or schools other than the 4 mentioned, e.g., Oyster or WIS? Seems that as long as they are DC residents and can prove their language capabilities, they should have an equal shot at admission.[/quote]

There will be lottery seats, at least in the early years.  That should mean that new students stand their best chance of getting in, if they join from the ground up.

Yu Ying has a lottery like every other highly-regarded charter school, however Yu Ying orders its waitlist based on the date/time of application.  Elsie Stokes does the same.

If you're very interested in a competitive and rigorous MS/HS plan, such as the bilingual International Baccalaureate Diploma, you should strive to be among the very first applicants when the application window opens.  (It doesn't guarantee entry through the lottery, but single digits on waitlists almost always get in.)[/quote]
