This year 3 IB kids without sibling preference got into Maury.

Last year, the following schools took IB kids without sibling preference on lottery day (the number of such kids is in parentheses)

Brent (9)
JO Wilson (13)
Ludlow-Taylor (23)
Miner (31)
Payne (20)
Peabody (36)
Tyler (13 in traditional + dual-language)

The only school I saw that didn't take any IB kids with siblings was Maury, and some might have gotten in off the waitlist. When you add in SWS, CHML, Appletrees, other charters, CBOs, and DCPS schools slightly outside of the hill (Wheatley, Browne, Walker-Jones) the situation is far from grim.

Maury only has 2 PK3 classes even though it has 3 in higher grades. PK3 classes are capped at 16; upper grade classes can be 25. Most IB families try for PK3 even if they’re going private (not super common in the Maury district, but some families at Capitol Hill Day & St Ps, which both start in PK4).

A school with more PK3 classes a la LT or Peabody naturally gives you much better odds.

If you don’t have sibling preference at a hill DCPS has anyone had luck getting into the schools?

If so which ones?


We are inbounds Maury and ranked 36 on the waitlist. No siblings. Blows my mind.
