I know I'm not "entitled" to a spot anywhere, and I am happy that some DC kids, somewhere, are benefiting from these schools, but the process does rub me the wrong way. I am a highly taxed DC taxpayer. We have a combined family income slightly over $250K. Will it kill me to spend $20K for pre-school next year? No. But it will remind me that[b] I don't have access to a lot of the resources that my DC taxes pay for[/b].[/quote][/quote]

There are open PS3 and PK4 spaces for everyone who wants one.  If you want access to free PS/PK it is yours.  Nobody goes without a seat except by choice.[/quote]

Really, where? I have no in-boundary PS-3, because I live in Zone 3. I've had similarly poor luck with the Out-of-Boundary PS-3 lottery, though my waitlist number for Tyler is in the low 30s--not likely, but not a joke. True, I didn't apply to certain poorly regarded charters and public OOBs, but failing schools aren't a resource that I want, and they are not the resource that I was referring to above. The point is that many (possibly most) DC families do not have access to any of the well-regarded public options, EL Haynes, Two Rivers, Mundo Verde, LAMB, Creative Minds, Cap City, etc. They might as well not exist to us. OP was completely right about that. [/quote]
