[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree completely with all of the above.  The only thing I would add (and I believe the data would show this, if available) is that your list in #1 now includes a number of additional schools.[/quote]

PP here. That's what I meant by #4, but the schools specifically mentioned in #1 are completely out of the question for anyone in ECE who doesn't live in-bounds and have been for years. There is also a growing list of schools where even if you are in-bounds, there is no guarantee due to the sheer number of kids. [/quote]

13:01 / 13:13 here:  It sounds like we are on the same page.  For someone with an excellent IB who is shut out of that IB for PK (due to the sheer number of kids), as well as shut out of 11 other choices which included some that were previously known as "safety" schools, it would be very helpful to see what schools let in OOB kids this year.  The data would be useful for purposes of the PK4 lottery as well as the PK3 lottery for next year and so on (yes, I have 3 kids under 4).[/quote]

But you can already see which schools let in OOB students with current data.  [/quote]

You can see that for 2015-16 but not for 2016-17.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong and post a link.[/quote]

Oh, I see.  You need to be planning your lottery choices 9 months in advance ... is that what this is all about?[/quote]

No - it's so that you can better make an assessment between moving and playing the lottery.[/quote]

You can already see how deeply all schools went into their waitlists (if they had one to begin with) for this 15-16 year on the My School DC site.

The point that I and other PPs are making is that, in certain areas, things appear to have changed considerably from the 15-16 school year to the 16-17 lottery (see PP's post about Van Ness for an example).  So that's why the 15-16 data is not as helpful as you might think.[/quote]

well guess what, the world and DCPS don't revolve around you. You have plenty of information now to make informed choices. Schools haven't even finished enrollment yet so 2016-17 data doesn't really exist. [/quote]

This PP posts with same crappy attitude on all of the threads about lottery data for SY 16-17. Better to ignore than take the bait and engage.[/quote]
