I heard there were 70+ spots for PK4, and about 30 expected to be filled by siblings.[/quote]
I suspect there will be 72 total slots for PK4 (four classes of 18 kids) and that siblings will fill closer to 60 of them.  There are 114 kids in K this year (DC1 is one of them) and, based on the decent sample of families we know, I'd say ~30% of those K'ers have younger sibs extremely likely to be in the PK4 cohort next fall.  So that's ~34 slots.  I think there are 72 kids in PK4 and 60 in 1st this year.  Say 15% of those 132 kids have a younger sib planning to start PK4 next fall and you're up to ~54.  Toss in half a dozen sibs from 2nd graders and above and you hit ~60.[/quote]

Well, this is discouraging. I was feeling all good about being in the first five today, but if there are only going to be 12 open spots, that stinks.[/quote]

On the contrary, that's why your high WL number matters so much.  It's not unreasonable to assume that at least the first 10 - 20 off the WL will be offered a slot.  It might be 2 weeks into school, but I'll bet it will happen.  Your #5 is really, really good.  Yes, next year will include jumbo class sibs, but still, previous history suggests that a number like yours should get you an offer by some time in June or July at the latest.[/quote]
