[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really think Waitlists will move much anymore. Almost all schools are in the common lottery, so aside from a handful of kids who move, around 30 or so from LAMB, a handful from Bethune... No one else should be declining their spots right?  I guess some do go private but is it really enough to make a difference?  Maybe a few hundred?[/quote]

No-- people can decide to stay at their current school, go to their IB school that they did not lottery for, leave DC, or homeschool.  The first two categories are a decent number of people.[/quote]

You're definitely right for anything about PK3. But for PK3 there is no guarenteed inbound school, and the only "current school" would be private daycare/preschool. I'm thinking that isn't a high number. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm thinking there will be very little movement for PK3. Since fewer spots open up in the upper grades (k-12), probably there isn't much movement there either. [/quote]

For PK3 I agree.  I don't think the lists will move all that much.  However, some people choose to have a SAHP and just keep the kid mostly at home.  Especially if there's a younger child so they'd be at home anyway.  [/quote]
