[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's hard without knowing precisely where you will live.  PK4 is a lot harder than K and PK3.  could you rent for a full-year and line the place/address up by 3/1?  it can take time to get situated in dc.

after the initial lottery, you can in the post-lottery period still add yourself to any school with a short waitlist: https://www.myschooldc.org/short-waitlists .  this might be one option just for PreK4 where you could then move as your right to your eventual in-bound school for K.  [/quote]

Do you say K is easier because the in-bound school is guaranteed, or is it also an easier entry point if you end up out of bounds?  I have wondered about that, if we look at one of the private options for PK4 and figure out K later.

It's both.  The allowed class size goes up between PK4 and K, so many schools are looking to add more kids.

Some schools in the more expensive neighborhoods don't offer enough PK4 to serve all the in-boundary kids, so those kids might be going to a PK4 at a charter or somewhere near their parents' work.  But for K they'll likely switch to their in-boundary school, creating a vacancy that someone else can use.[/quote]
