[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of the Brent PreK3 wait-listed will end up at Van Ness and Tyler (both Spanish Immersion and Traditional) because many families got proximity preference for one or the other, with homes within half a mile walking distance.   Others got it for Peabody, which struggles to accomodate all in-boundary for PreK3.   AppleTrees aren't difficult to get into, at least not by Oct count day.  So these are the natural choices.  A few will land at Logan or Ludlow.  The big influx of Brent PreK3 refugees into Van Ness is helping tip the demographic balance to keep the school from being designated Title 1.   Good, that will help Van Ness, including the poor in-boundary kids who are enrolled.

I don't see another big PreK3 group entering the 2016 lottery.  There aren't as many babies in the neighborhood as two or three years ago.

You might want to read up on the actual DCPS policy for proximity preference before opining about the "many" families zoned for Brent who live more than a half-mile from the school but yet are within a half-mile of Tyler or VanNess.  I suppose it comports with your ignorance of wait lists at other CH schools.  Your elitist attitude about all the "poors" zoned for VanNess is quite off putting.[/quote]

Huh?  We're in-boundary for Brent and got proximity preference for Tyler for PreK3.  I don't claim to understand exactly how the preference is granted anymore.  DCPS used to use some sort of center-of-a-square measurement to determine who got it.  Now Google maps seems to decide using the walking measurement function!
