It is completely understandable.  This is a very rational vent.  I don't know anything about Bruce Monroe, but keep in mind that many people choose the local schools for just the very early grades and then pull out way before 3rd grade, which is when the tests have historically begun (they are starting in 2nd next year, but that is not relevant to this topic).  Hopefully someone else has better information.

But, seriously, try Appletree.  For the past several years, they have had actual openings soon after school starts.  The chances are extremely good that you will get in.  I might also try Butler, as they have a great reputation, are not way too far away, and often have openings due to the low income demographics.  You are also in a great spot for next year.  You now have a jumpstart on your research, and there are many more openings for pre-k4, so whatever you choose now only has to get you through one year.[/quote]

Thank you, that really is helpful to keep in mind.  I spoke to one school today (just called out of curiosity about how long their wait list was - I knew it would be impossible) and I about fell over when she told me that many schools open their applications for the following academic year before the end of this year!  So you're right, as long as we can hang in for this year, this initiation-by-fire will hopefully come in handy next year.

Thanks for the reminder![/quote]
