[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing to consider is trying to target a location which is in bounds for [b]one school and gives you proximity preference for another[/b].  For example, you can live in bounds for Peabody and in some locations have proximity preference for Tyler.  Same for the Brent/Tyler line on 7th Street.   And also with J.O and Ludlow Taylor (Nothing against those, but I wouldn't select them as in-bounds and would rely on them more as fallback).  I'm not familiar enough with the districts for some of the other schools to know where the overlap is. [/quote]

Is this true for PreK?  I was under the impression that there is no proximity preference for PreK, since nobody has a right to a spot, just for K and above.  [/quote]

From DCPS FAQ:

• Applicants will be placed into available seats in their particular grade at each school based on their preference and random number order.

See below for the order of preferences for the Preschool and Pre-?k Lottery:

1. Students who live in-?boundary with a sibling at the school are placed first, in random number order.

2. Students who live in-?boundary without a sibling at the school are placed next, in random number order.

3. Students who live out-?of-?boundary with a sibling at the school are placed next, in random number order.

4. Students who live within reasonable walking distance* of the school without a sibling at the school are placed next, in random number order.

5. Any remaining seats will go to students who receive none of the above preferences, in random number order.[/quote]
