[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,
well, there is always hope...hope they will get in at Stoddert. I know someone whose kid got in by lottery to an out of boundery charter school, at age 3. [/quote]

yes, there are definitely spots available out of boundary for PS and PK at many DC public schools and charter schools.  Just not at the ones that you mentioned in your post above.  [/quote]

Hi OP - there are typically OOB PK4 spots available at Hearst and perhaps at Eaton but not the others.  The incoming PK 4 class at Hearst is about 60% IB so about 16 OOB spots available.  We have been at Hearst for 2 years now, DD finished up K this year.   In discussion with friend with DC at one of the well-regarded Bethesda ES things seem quite comparable and in some regards better at our DCPS.   class sizes no more than 20, 2 FT adults in the classroom PK thru 1st (one lead teacher and a degreed teaching asst - in our case many from the AU program nearby).

If you like living in the District, particularly if you have a walkable neighborhood and that's important to you I'd encourage you to consider staying in the District!  Our DC walks 7 blocks to a great school and we've been very happy[/quote]
