[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- As background, we are just at the beginning of this process. We are in a private 3 yo preschool now but are hoping to get into Janney for PK 4 through the rest of elementary school. Just took a major pay cut this year, so obviously it would be ideal if we get into Janney.  If not, since its an open lottery, it seemed reasonable to start researching other nearby schools to put down as numbers 2, 3, etc.

I do understand many NW schools are oversubscribed, but I have not yet looked into our chances of getting into other nearby schools as an oob family. [/quote]

Op - I was in your position 2 years ago.  My list was 1) Janney 2) Hearst 3) Eaton - I got a spot at Hearst.  It was obvious on the Hearst tour that they would prefer families like ours (who would leave for Janney come K) weren't that welcome, and I do understand why. That said, as one PP wrote, you are of course able to apply.  Study the results from the last few years and make educated picks.  In the end it is all luck - but some schools you at least have a chance.

I have a friend whose daughter did a PK4 year at Appletree in Columbia Heights and they were really happy with it.

Good luck.  [/quote]
