[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be skeptical of anyone claiming 100% certainty about the makeup of the PK3 class for next year. Charters haven't even started asking about reenrollment for next year, and they don't always know whether their students have PK3-eligible siblings. Then you have situations like opening up a new classroom (happened to MV two years ago and LAMB last year) that let in an unexpected flood of students. You should really seriously just list the schools in order of your true preference, and don't pay attention to claims that a school will be hard to get into.

BTW the only exception would be a popular DCPS that you are OOB for. If that school does not take OOB students, then sure, take it off your list. But charters (which don't have IB preference) are wide open.[/quote]

There was a flood of slots at lamb last year?  I do remember Mundo verde going into the 200s on their waitlist, but nothing nowhere near that happened at LAMB (unfortunately). [/quote]

LAMB added a primary class after the MSDC deadline (they hold their own lottery), so went to then 50-60s on their PK3 list.  List schools in your true preference order.[/quote]

Don't think that's right. Are you the person constantly telling people they'll get into lamb with a number over 50?[/quote]

The 50 doesn't reflect waitlist.  It reflects draw order.  In the last two years those who got in still got a "number".  So say 1-20 got in.  20-50 got in off WL after the extra class added.  Also, don't be defensive.  It's a lovely school.[/quote]

Agreed. LAMB PK-3 "waitlist" numbers went beyond 50 last 2 years. Don't be so crabby. [/quote][/quote]

Let me try that again - My son is in the "new" class at LAMB - they had new students showing up into October last year.  I don't know the specific number, but I would agree that it was over 50. [/quote]
