[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have had people tell me that spots open up in 1st and 2nd at some schools as siblings and legacies that were given the "benefit of the doubt" for K admissions are counseled out.[/quote] those siblings are usually counseled out pre intake years so right before third grade usually for many schools. It would have to be an exceptionally horrible fit for a kid to be counseled out at the end of the year after only one year of attendance, before the school knew they have people to immediately fill that spot(ie a year with the class expanding). Also kids who have learning disabilities/differences get the hint that other schools will be a better fit by 2nd grade when everyone is expected to read. 
OP, call all the schools you would be interested in and explain your situation and ask. They will likely take your application and tell you they will let you know in the next couple months. Call Norwood, Sheridan, NPS, primary Day, Capitol Hill Day School, Green Acres, St Andrews Episcopal, Bullis, and if you want to give it a shot Maret but that is unlikely. [/quote]
