[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would try a charter and switch to private if it doesn't work out. [b]You can join a private later [/b]but that is less likely to be a possibility at a charter. That said joining lamb if you are not pretty committed will mean they can't fill the space of you leave for K or a letter year.[/quote]

I don't think you know how admissions works at top privates. There are entry years, and after that it's very hard to get in.[/quote]

Yes but aren't K and 3rd often entry years? Those are often very hard years to get into charters (impossible for LAMB).[/quote]

So if you don't get in for preschool you're essentially shut out of charters?[/quote]

Not necessarily. Many people still charter hop, move to JKLM, out of state etc which will open up older grades. For example, I think IT moved well into waitlist for 1st grade this year as they had more than a handful of rising 1st graders move out of state/JKLM.[/quote]
