What are preferences (sibling preference, proximity preference, in-boundary preference)?
Students may have a preference at one or more schools. Students with a preference at a particular school are offered space at that school before students who don’t have a preference. There are four types of preferences:
Sibling preference (DCPS and public charter schools). Your child will have a sibling preference at a school where a sibling is currently enrolled. Some schools also offer a preference in the lottery and/or on the waiting list to siblings of accepted students. For example, if you have two children applying to the same school this year and one is accepted, the school may offer a preference to the accepted child’s brother or sister. These preferences vary by school, so if you have questions, it’s best to contact the school. If your child is admitted with a sibling preference, be prepared to prove that your children are siblings when you enroll them. (DCPS specialized high schools do not offer a sibling preference.)
Proximity preference (DCPS only). Your child will receive a preference if he or she lives within a reasonable walking distance of a school. (DCPS high schools do not offer a proximity preference.)
In-boundary preference (DCPS PK3 and PK4 only). PK3 and PK4 students receive a preference at their in-boundary DCPS schools.
Adams-boundary preference (Oyster-Adams Bilingual School only). In 2007, John Quincy Adams Elementary School merged with Oyster Bilingual School. Students living in the boundary of the former Adams Elementary School get a preference when applying to Oyster-Adams.[/quote]
