[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With only 30 PreK3 spots left at Brent (down from 38 last year) and Lord knows how many names going in the hat in the 2015-2016 lottery season, I wouldn't hold my breath.  The school was expecting two dozen in-boundary applicants with siblings in the last lottery season and got 42.

Take heart, Van Ness got nearly 20 of the Brent in-boundary 3 year olds and AppleTree LP got a dozen.  If you land in either program (both solid and predominantly high SES), your kid will have plenty of K buddies/former classmates at Brent.  [b]Tyler Spanish Immersion, Ludlow-Taylor and Peabody also welcome multiple Brent in-boundary kids for PreK3 and 4[/b].

I love DCUM. Idiots spouting garbage with impunity. DCPS publishes the data, so why don't we just take a look, shall we?

Ludlow Round 1
PK3:
45 seats offered - 5 IB w/sib admitted, 40 IB admitted. [b]25 waitlisted from categories that cannot be IB for Brent [/b](i.e. WL IB w/sib accepted on through to proximity)
PK4:
4 seats offered - 4 IB accepted. [b]14 waitlisted from categories that cannot be IB for Brent [/b](i.e. WL IB w/sib accepted on through to proximity)

Peabody Round 1
PK3:
61 seats offered - 28 IB w/sib admitted, 33 IB admitted.  [b]39 IB waitlisted.[/b] [b](i.e. categories that cannot be IB for Brent)[/b]
PK4:
17 seats offered - 3 IB w/sib admitted, 14 IB admitted.  [b]22 IB waitlisted. 22 waitlisted  w/sib enrolled[/b] [b](i.e. categories that cannot be IB for Brent)[/b]

Tyler Round 1:
Same story for PK3. 
In the interest of full disclosure there were in fact 4 OOB PK4 kids admitted.[/quote]

In the interests of fairness to the original poster (and perhaps of use to the folks entering the lottery for PK3), Ludlow-Taylor runs pretty far down into its waitlist for both PK grades or at least did two and three years ago. Tyler Traditional generally goes through most or all of its waitlist. But Peabody's doesn't budge all that much, and there are many IB families clamoring to get into PK. So, now, they don't generally welcome inbounds Brent kids, at least for PK3.[/quote]
