[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, an extremely relevant question is how important public PK is for you, and whether you would be willing to pay for daycare/private PK if you don't get into one of your preferred schools (which, with your current list, is a real possibility).

Also, if you are IB for Maury, you can go there at K regardless. Is that okay with you or are you trying to lottery into a PK and then stay at that school longterm? Maury is a great school, though some people don't like the MS feed.

I can't answer that stuff for you, but I would consider the following schools, all of which would be perfectly good for PK (the first 3 would be fine beyond PK, TBH, though you would probably still prefer Maury at that point):

J.O. Wilson
Two Rivers (both campuses)
Capital Hill Montessori
Miner
Wheatley

Pretty sure Wilson and miner also only take IB kids at this point for pre-K. DC makes this super easy. Just look at the website that people have sent around. If it says only kids IB get in and you aren’t IB… don’t add it to your list. It’s amazing to me how many lists I see on here where someone has put Brent, Maury, Lt, VN, etc it makes no sense. There’s plenty of other schools to put on your list and DC has an easy list of them to look through.

If you have some flexibility on commute, these would also be viable options:

Stokes East End (Spanish and French programs)
Van Ness
Langley

Again, if you just need a program to get you through PK until you can have your guaranteed slot at Maury for K, you might be willing to do an annoying commute for a couple years. It's just PK. You are in a great situation because you are IB for a good elementary school. You just need a PK, and pretty much all the PKs in DCPS are fine. A lot of people are in a different situation (where their IB is not good and they are trying to lottery into a school for the longterm) and it's much more stressful.[/quote][/quote]
