[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP --- NO ONE is moving to EOTP for the free Pre-K 3 (and I say this as the parent of a Pre-K 3 kid in a eotp school), and everyone here is agonizing about what to do beyond elementary. One year of school does not compare to a having a decent public option for middle school and high school. [/quote]

No one is moving just for PK3.  No one is choosing to live EOTP rather than IB for a good WOTP school because of one year of preschool.  No one.  The people who live IB for schools with PK3 programs have preference for those programs, which is why many of them are impossible to get into OOB.  I would say those schools might not have enough spots for all the families who live IB and would like to send their kids, but that's a different issue from whether PK3 WOTP is necessary or should be a priority.

The only place where WOTP families are competing with EOTP families is at DCPS schools that have OOB PK3 spots available (although EOTP families might also have proximity preference for a school other than their IB, so they would still beat out WOTP families for those spots) or charters.  And most charters are going to be EOTP because that's where they can afford to lease a suitable building.    [/quote]
