[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]06:39 There were actually 37 or 38 in bounds PS3 kids on the Peabody wait list last year.  While the waitlist may look deceiving because of how families ranked their choices, thats still a whole lot of kids that didn't get in.  Yes, some got into other schools that they ranked higher (ie: Tyler Spanish, Logan), but there were an awful lot who had Peabody ranked higher than where they did get in or didn't get in any DCPS at all (yes, I had a lot of time on my hands and was trying to figure out if we had any hopes of making it in from the way bottom of the inbound waitlist). However, if I recall correctly, there were a lot of out of bounds kids accepted (with sibs and not) for PK4-- so many in fact that I think amounted to almost a whole classroom of children.  I'd have rather seen those spots go to the inbounds PS kids... it would have been nice for my kid to go to school two blocks from home.  Not sure if there was a one time bubble of PS3 eligible kids last year of a change in demographics like 06:59 pointed out and the lottery results will look similar this year.[/quote]

I can say that we were one of the IB families for PS at Peabody last year, and didn't get in anywhere else.  We were quite picky with our choices, as we have pretty good situation, but we also applied to Logan Montessori, Brent and Maury, and didn't get in anywhere.  Trying again this year, but without a lot of optimism. [/quote]
