[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for the helpful posts about DCPS schools. We live inbound to Burroughs. I did not intend my post to sound elitist or silly, but parental involvement and school administration efficacy are important to my family. While other posters may be constrained by commute or school location, those are not factors for us where we are really focused on enrolling our child in a highly engaged and responsive school. Thank you for the DCPS list to research in more detail. Are there any recommendations for charter schools that fit our criteria?[/quote]

OP, are you planning to move? Because that's the only way you'll get into these schools.[/quote]

It is unlikely to get into any non-citywide DCPS in Kindergarten, particularly those west of the park (the "higher fundraising" schools), but after I started to pull the numbers, I see that it isn't impossible.  Because all kindergartners have "by right" attendance, I think I'm correct in assuming that all those pull off of waitlists are out of boundary.  What I don't know is how many of those are out of boundary siblings (who would have preference), who got pulled in by a 3, 4, 5th grade sibling.

This year did seem to be a "good" year for 1st grade admissions at charters and DCPS, but most charters only open seats from attrition for kindergarten.

Looking at the wait list data, by October, city wide DCPS and Charters in your vicinity here admitted kindergartners as follows:

Capitol Hill Montessori: 9
School with a School: 2
YY: 1
LAMB:  Doesn't take at K
CMI: 15
TR4: 14
TRY: 18
ITS: 35
DCB: 39
Bridges:   40
MV: 6
Shining Stars: 40
DC Prep Edgewood:  2
Cap City: 7
EL Haynes: 8
Lee: 1
Stokes F: 7
Stokes S: 15

Interestingly here are some of the DCPS numbers off waitlists.  I'm surprised that there were any!  Maybe someone over there knows better.
Janney: 8
Key: 4
Lafayette: 2
Mann: 6
Murch: 3
Shepherd: 18
Ross: 3

Your highest SES "safety" in your vicinity is likely Sela.  They had no K waitlist this year.[/quote]

CMI did not take 15 K students his year.  That's absurd.[/quote]

PP was likely stating how far they went to the list. Don't worry, you're charter is still highly regarded if they offered 15 people spots.[/quote]
