[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to those providing meaningful responses. This is very helpful. If we apply for a charter how likely is a spot?[/quote]

Depends on the charter and how old your kids are. At the most coveted schools -- Yu Ying, for example -- very, very low. The priority is siblings of current students first, which can sometimes leave only a handful of spots thereafter.

How old are your kids, OP? Many schools have PS3 (so they start at age 3) which means that's the main entry year. Some start at PK4 (4 year olds). Some will tell you it may be actually easier to get a spot at a non-entry year, like 1st grade, because there are fewer applicants.

Note: You will need to lottery into PS3 and PK4 at ALL schools -- even the IB schools.

Here's how you apply

This site will give you some info on DCPS schools -- look how long the waitlists are at some schools and not at others. Can give you a chance of odds.[/quote]
