All Souls parent here who’s child just went through exmissions a got in to our First choice TT (we are unconnected).

There are two PreK classes at All Souls (each with 17-18 kids). One class is a bit younger and one is a bit older. The younger one about half decided on Public school because they would be deemed too young for private K this coming year, then there were a few sibling/ legacies and some unconnected families.

The oldest class, everyone was placed in either their first or second choice schools. Some of the kids got in to more than one TT. There were also a bunch of schools that All Souls didn’t list, that children also got acceptances to (i.e., Trevor, Town, Geneva etc.).

It seems like schools like Episcopal have a lot more PreK kids than All Souls, if they have 8 girls going to Chapin and 4 going to Spence. I think my child’s class only has 7 girls in it alone. 🤣[/quote]

I am a bit surprised that there are that many All Souls pre-k students that decide to go to public school because they don’t meet the private school age cutoff. At our private UES preschool, the summer/fall birthdays typically stay another year (“redshirt”). Those that opt for public school do so more for financial reasons.

They could go to K at a public and then apply to K at a private.[/quote]

More kids decided to red shirt last year. Unsure about why so many decided to not this year. It could just be money reasons and many are zoned for PS 6, so they just go with that.

I know of a few kids that did public K this year and applied to private K for this coming year. [/quote]
