[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe how stiff the competition is for this school sheesh [/quote]

It’s the only option in the city if you are interested in French (we didn’t apply to any other immersion schools). We tried 4 years in a row (made it to #1 on the WL once) and eventually gave up.  [/quote]

And thus, you're really competing for 15 seats at Pk3, and just a couple more every year after that.[/quote]

I was just looking at our PK4 numbers from 2 years ago - we were at #3 in the initial lottery draw for French and never got a call.  [/quote]

These odds are making me depressed.  Did you eventually get in the next year?[/quote]

Nope - we've had really good luck in the lottery otherwise too - this year (for 1st grade) we're again sitting in single digits for French, but I don't expect it to go anywhere.  Stokes and DC Bilingual are the only Wards 5/6 charter schools we've never gotten into (of the 12 more popular ones among the DCUM crowd).[/quote]

I just looked at the numbers from two years ago and I see they made 3 offers, but I'm assuming they went to siblings.  Smh.  Welp.[/quote]
