[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You definitely did not miss the boat. It seems like there is a lot of seats offered in PK3 but a lot of those went to siblings anyway, you couldn't have had them.

Things tend to open up more in Kindergarten because the class size goes up and kids leave charters for their in-boundary schools. But you don't see that in the data because people don't need to lottery for K at their in-boundary school.[/quote]

This, we got multiple offers in K for schools we'd written off because we were totally locked out in PK. Same thing in 1st. I can tell you from experience that moving schools in K or 1st is totally fine for kids socially and academically.

Statistically, almost no one wins the PK3 lottery. Those handful of charter schools that tons of people lottery for and only give out 30 spots and half or more go to siblings? Well do the math. Almost no one gets in. Yet a lot of people wind up happy with their elementary school. Because it turns out that even if you "lose" the PK3 lottery (like virtually everyone does) you still have lots of options.[/quote]
