[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're looking ahead to next spring's lottery for PK3 (2016-2017 school year), and I was wondering what advice you have based on your experiences with the most recent lottery.  Here's what I've gathered--feel free to note whether you disagree with these:

1) A lot of DCPS with not-so-great test scores have really bad odds for out-of-boundary families for PK3 with no sibling preferences.

2) Take a hard look at your potential commute when you're putting together your list of schools.

3) It's possible although unlikely to get shut out of both the round 1 and round 2 lotteries.

What do you think you did well with your list of schools?  What would you have done differently?

Thanks![/quote]

next Spring's lottery is for 2015-2016. Are you looking for next year's lottery or the following year's? Either way, it's hard to tell the future until we know what happens with boundaries.[/quote]

Oops, I meant 2015-2016.  I don't think anything big will happen with boundaries for us by then.  Our in-bounds is so terrible, that practially any change would be an improvement.  The surrounding schools are at least marginally better.  The percent proficient on the DC CAS is in the 30s for our in-bounds school, and it had unfilled seats after Round 1 this year, but apparently all were filled in Round 2.[/quote]
