[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PK is very competitive. In Capitol Hill, your best chance at a spot is probably your IB PK or a somewhat less competitive charter, like AppleTree. But you should go ahead and include some longshots you're interested in too; you never know.

If you really want immersion, it's worth trying for a spot now. But for OOB DCPS, kindergarten is often an easier entry year.

Commute time is also an important factor. Really think about the difference a 5 min, 10 min, or 25 min commute would make for your family.[/quote]

NP. I may be starting to arrive at this conclusion and convincing myself to just go for IB PK, which for us is Maury. We're in a Spanish immersion daycare, and would have really loved to continue that kind of language exposure but not sure about a path in DC. Getting discouraged by either mixed feedback on the immersion PKs/ES like Mundo Verde and/or a long commute. Most kids in our current class live in the NE/Capitol Hill area, and it's been nice having close-by impromptu playdates and bonding so the idea of a neighborhood school is becoming more attractive. Especially when they're little, the longer commute sounds daunting.

How common is it for kids to (re)start immersion in K? If you could go to any school, which would you choose for immersion path / which neighborhood to move to? We like where we are and have family nearby, but I suppose moving isn't totally out of real of possibility.
