[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't get into preK at our in-bounds school - -Bancroft -- because out-of-bound families with siblings get preference over in-bound families at the preK level.   Not a huge deal. I see preK as a bonus and we could go by right in K.  But we got into a charter in preK and started there and stayed.  I think Bancroft loses a lot of in-bound families who might otherwise stay in the neighborhood because of this policy (which I think is just for bi-lingual schools)[/quote]

I don't think this is true. IB with sibling, followed by IB, followed by OOB with sibling. Proximity preference might also be above OOB with sibling. My oldest goes to a school with a higher OOB percentage in the upper grades and we know several families who have an older sibling enrolled OOB who did not get in for PK4. We were merely IB with no sibling enrolled at the time and my kid got a PK spot. Those families we know got a spot in K last year since OOB with sibling enrolled gets preference over pure OOB, but did not come off the list for PK the year before. [/quote]
