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, [b]and there are many more openings for pre-k4[/b], so whatever you choose now only has to get you through one year.[/quote]

Across DC there may be more openings for PreK 4, but in her neighborhood there is not going to be a fundamental shift.

Over the last 2 years, there have been a handful of great early education charters that have opened that have eased up some of the demand - but once there programs are operational, we will be back to there being low chances for PreS and PreK to get into a good elementary.

Changes for 2011:  Mundo Verde, IT, Shining Stars, LAMB new campus and a bunch of campuses for AppleTree Opened as well as the expansion for Yu Ying
Changes for 2012:  Creative Minds opening and expansions for Mundo Verde, IT, CCPCS and Bridges

Next year, many of the PreS spots for these schools will be taken by siblings, I am not sure which charters have expansion classes or expansion spaces for PreK.
  
You should be able to get into AppleTree next year and probably Bridges - and your next best plan would be to get your lottery application in for Charters that create the waitlist based on when the applications are received (Yu Ying, Elsie Stokes - not sure which others)[/quote]
