[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is probably true, yeah -- and yes, I was about 120 last year and something even worse the year before. It was fine b/c I wasn't sure I could make the drive with a brand-new baby, but now I REALLY want DD to get in and have no control over the process. Do you guys know how many applications they typically receive for K and 1st grade, and how many spots they have?[/quote]

No idea how many apps they receive, but I remember learning from here and other sources that K was an easier entry grade than PS3 or PK4 (don't they have blended PS/PK classrooms at Stokes?).  I remember talking to the Principal at the Expo the year we were going for PK4 and she pretty much said - without actually directly saying it - it's really highly unlikely you're going to get in.  I at least appreciated the honesty!

Only slightly good news is that with MV expanding a bit there will be a few more Spanish-bilingual PreK and K spots all around, which may take a little of the focus off of Stokes.  On the flipside, as DCI gets closer to opening, there are also people interested in all the feeder schools now who otherwise weren't really considering them as seriously/aggressively.

Wishing everyone luck though, because SOMEONE has to get the few spots that do come open![/quote]
