[quote=Anonymous]don't just call. go to myschooldc.org and do a post-lotto application. http://www.myschooldc.org/faq/faqs/#post-lotto. The sooner you do it the higher on the waitlist you'll be.

Most schools have very long waitlists for PK now and are unlikely to take kids who do a post-lotto application.  You should definitely apply to whatever your in-bounds school is as you get a priority there (but there are schools where most in-bounds kids get waitlisted for PK, and schools mostly in Ward 3 that don't offer PK for 3 year olds).  In general, the schools that tend to have space available this late in the year are east of the Anacostia River (Wards 7 and 8), have low test scores (only kids in grades 3-5 are tested, so that may or may not be a concern for you in PK), and are far from metro stations. One charter which is likely to have space is Sela, which is a bilingual Hebrew (non-religious) school near the Ft. Totten metro.  Schools that only have PK, or a few grades above that but not PK-5, tend to go through their waitlists faster.  Those include Van Ness (DCPS) and Bridges and Appletree (charters). [/quote]
