No, you won't get lucky, at schools that have a boundary. The PK3 class will fill with in-boundary students who are siblings of current students and have good lottery numbers. The in-boundary siblings with bad lottery numbers will be placed on the wait-list.  Your child, even with the best lottery number ever, will be placed on the wait-list behind all the in-boundary siblings, even those with bad lottery numbers, and most of them will not get in. There is no amount of luck that can change that. Some of the schools also offer a preference for low-income kids. Really try to understand it ain't gonna happen. At a school with no boundary, that's where you can get lucky.[/quote]

Good to know the order of preferences.  School with no boundary - are these charter schools?  What's the best way to find a list of these?  Seems like they're all mixed together on the DC boundary site.[/quote]

Charter schools have no boundary. There are a few DCPS schools with no boundary, but the only one you would like is School Within School.[/quote]

Actually there is also Military Road Early Learning Center and Francis Stevens Early Learning Center, those are DCPS preschools with no boundary.[/quote]

Yes but these don't allow all three kids to go to the same school. And it's Stevens Early Learning Center. Francis Stevens is a different school. It's a nice school, but if OP only wants schools that feed to Jackson Reed and offer PK3, she's going to have to do Hyde-Addison or Shepherd and would be best served by signing a lease in-bounds for one of them that starts by May 1. It's probably the same price to do that as it would be to pay for a year of PreK in Arlington though, so she might just want to move there this summer and save herself some hassle. [/quote]
