[quote=Anonymous]PK on the Hill is very competitive. PK4 isn't quite as competitive as PK3 because most people who want a seat already got one in PK3 and class sizes generally increase in PK4 (max 16 students to max 20 students). Relatively speaking, there are more out of boundary offers for PK4 than PK3, but for most schools it's still a long shot.

Some things to consider:

-Some Hill elementaries schools are or will be in swing spaces next year as they renovate the schools. That can often mean students are getting bussed to buildings far away. I'd advise checking this before adding a school to your list.

-The Hill isn't that big, but it's big enough that if you end up at a school farther away from your home, you might lose a lot of the walkability and community that you're seeking.

-You might consider your second child in your strategy. Sibling preference gives you a much better chance at a PK3 seat for your second child at your in-boundary school, charters, or citywide schools, but it likely won't get you very far if your older child is at a neighborhood school out of boundary. Multiple school commutes are no fun; it might not be work[/quote]
