[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It didn't seem worth starting a new thread, but an interesting anecdata point from our principal: BIG increase in the number of kids on the waiting list after the lottery was initially run last week year-on-year.

Our school is on a bit of an upward trajectory, so some portion of that could be school-specific, but I think a big increase would have to reflect a system-wide increase in numbers. Will be interesting to see.[/quote]

Would you mind sharing what school?[/quote]

I was at the launch of this report last week, https://www.dcpolicycenter.org/publications/state-of-dc-schools-2022-23/ - while they did not share any concrete data, they were talking about enrollment trends, and the impression given was that enrollment (based on lottery data) has continued to increase. If you look at page 6, besides the one year in the pandemic, enrollment has been on the rise since 2013. The report breaks it down by age/grade level as well, which is interesting. For example, the last two years, increased enrollment in public high schools (both public and charter) has been what was driving growth. [/quote]

The school I was talking about is an elementary school and enrollment in PK/ES is still down from pre-pandemic levels (although it is not at our school; there was a dip in enrollment, but this year we have caught back up to where we were previously).[/quote]
