Universal Pre-K (3 & 4) since 2009 in DC[/quote]

No, it's not yet universal.  From the MySchoolDC website regarding Pre-K 3 and 4:

"Families can apply to up to 12 schools on the My School DC application. However, there is no guarantee of a lottery match or waitlist offer."

Until recently, the were no Pre-K 3 options in Ward 3.  Now there are some through CBOs.

Ward 3 schools don't meet all the demand for Pre-K 4 spots either.[/quote]

And let's be honest, Ward 3 schools don't offer PreK 3 or 4 spots typically for a very specific, unwritten reason. They don't want OOB kids to get into their school and not having PK 3 or 4 (or having just one class) allows them to do that. [/quote]

I didn’t grow up in DC, and the concept of kids being able to attend schools they’re not specifically assigned to based on their residence is baffling to me. I’m not a fan of it.[/quote]

Good to know, but no one GsAF.[/quote]
