[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should be applying to Bridges and Inspired Teaching. Both are excellent schools and nearby.

Also look in to Cap City. Bunker Hill. CMI. You won't likely like all of these schools but you will like one and should include that on your list. At K you can start including DCPS schools.  Perhaps Shepard.

Do you need to change your strategy? Probably. Will you end up with a school you are pleased with?  Probably. Will it be perfect?  No school is. [/quote]

Inspired teaching has 3 K spots last year and probably the same this year.  Its up there with CMI-next to impossible.[/quote]

Huh?  On the public tableau site it says they offered 14 this year.  10 last year and then 35 waitlist offers were made.[/quote]

+1.

OP, we played the lottery for my incoming Ker for 2016/2017.  He got a decent master wait list number - his highest number was in the mid-50s, i think. By mid-summer he had offers from Hyde Addison and Frances Stevens.  ultimately, he got into K at Inspired Teaching off of the wait list with zero preferences.  Mind you, he got a spot the day before school started, which was a little insane but doable.  His original wait list number for Inspired was fairly decent (low 30s) but nobody on DCUM thought he would get a spot.  Well, we have had a fabulous year and are transferring my older child to Inspired in the fall (through the lottery with sibling preference).  It really is just dumb luck and out of your control...but it does happen.  Be open minded, geographically speaking, if you love your neighborhood.  we shlep across town because Inspired has some built-in safety nets that is best for my DS that is hard to find at other schools.  Good luck. [/quote]
