[quote=Anonymous]One thing that you should understand, that someone above said but I want to underscore, is that it is basically impossible to get into desirable schools with boundaries, if you live out of boundary, for PK3. That is either because all the PK3 spots go to in-boundary students, like with Ludlow-Taylor, Maury, Brent, etc., or because the school doesn’t offer PK3 (most WOTP schools). The same is not true for PK4 and up, when more spots become available so it becomes possible to get in out of boundary at some desirable schools with a good lottery number.

It’s not a waste of time to research those schools if they would interest you for later years, but you would only get in out of boundary in PK3 if there was some very weird demographic dip/fluke.

This is not true of all schools that have good preK programs - you can get in to JO Wilson and Miner out of boundary in PK3 - but it is true for the schools with boundaries that are viewed as the top tier test score wise.

There are many schools with no boundaries that are nearly impossible to get into in PK3 without sibling preference (like SWS, Stokes), and others that basically let everyone in (like Mundo Verde Cook, Two Rivers). [/quote]
