[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to set expectations/
It’s not that you have the thinnest of chances OOB at WOTR dual language English-dominant PK3/4 DCPS schools.
There is literally no chance.  
Your kid could get the absolute highest number in the lotería and your kid will not get in.

Barring schools that add classrooms or make otherwise unusual changes, there are literally zero OOB kids taken.[/quote]

Yes, this is what I saw and why I wasn't even going to bother listing them - but it sounds like maybe a chance at the charter schools? [/quote]

[b]Definitely a chance at charters. We know a lot of people that have gotten in to Mundo Verde (both campuses), Stokes, DCB, and LAMB.[/b] [/quote]

For which grades? With the exception of MV P/8 taking a ton of kids for K and 1st, this years wait list stats don't jibe with your assertion[/quote]

You can't look at just one year of data and determine the likelihood of what will happen. Our oldest is now 12 and we have lived in Brookland for 15 years, so we have seen many, many lottery years. Every SINGLE family I know has gotten into a highly regarded school for at least one child at some point. Mundo Verde, Stokes, ITS, LAMB and citywide programs like SWS. We turned down Mundo Verde to stay at another charter. We know families who were happy to get into CMI, then left for ITS. We know families who turned down Stokes for WOTP DCPS schools. Families who turned down MV to stay at Powell. And most of them settled long before there were multiple campuses for each of these schools. There are just a LOT of options, particularly if you are playing multiple kids.[/quote]
