[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to keep happening unless something changes (ie, more spots or only PK4).  I fail to see a downward trend in recent years.  There will be years where 40% get in and years where 66% get in (the 2016 lottery) but I fail to see the situation working itself out without a change at the school.[/quote]

The school doesn't get to decide on its own whether to discontinue PK3.  Which would be the next Capitol Hill school to do so?  Peabody?  Maury?  SWS?  Van Ness?  [/quote]

Hard to say, looking at the 2015 numbers:

Peabody: They offer over 60 seats for PS3 meaning more of their of their IB kids get in (60 of 80 in '14, 61 of 99 in '15)
Maury: Their numbers are as bad as Brent's. However they are getting additional classrooms in the next few years (6 or 8) which should ease the crunch
SWS: Correct me if I'm wrong by they are city wide so they don't have to worry about IB students
VN: Judging by posts on this board, it sounds like they have 2+ classes of IB students. However they have guaranteed admission for IB PS3 students. [b]So really the question for VN is when does that go away? [/b][/quote]

Why would that go away?

I think it will stay until the school is filled up through 5th and it's clear whether a majority of the students are Title 1 eligible or not.

Totally agree. Just pointing out that guaranteed IB admission will go away before PS3 and it would be several years in the future. [/quote]
