[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With only 30 PreK3 spots left at Brent (down from 38 last year) and Lord knows how many names going in the hat in the 2015-2016 lottery season, I wouldn't hold my breath.  The school was expecting two dozen in-boundary applicants with siblings in the last lottery season and got 42.

Take heart, Van Ness got nearly 20 of the Brent in-boundary 3 year olds and AppleTree LP got a dozen.  If you land in either program (both solid and predominantly high SES), your kid will have plenty of K buddies/former classmates at Brent.  Tyler Spanish Immersion, Ludlow-Taylor and Peabody also welcome multiple Brent in-boundary kids for PreK3 and 4.

Why are there are only 30 PreK3 slots this year? [/quote]

Real estate crunch, pure and simple.  Brent is running out of space- there isn't a spare classroom to be had.  The giant art room was sub-divided over the summer to create another classroom.   Many parents want PreK3 dropped to make more room for PreK4 but the PTA Board, LSAT, principal and DCPS aren't on board.   There are plenty of PreK3 spots within a mile and in-boundary lottery applicant gets into more than one or more of these programs by summer's end.  Making the best of things for PreK3 tends to work.
