The list hasn't been updated since 5/9 which was before the last deadline.

This is a strong reason to not offer PS3 in the first place. Parents use it for free daycare and then jump ship when they get into the school they really wanted.

Indeed, the public waitlist numbers just don't bare out 11:50's claims, as PP pointed out.

I am an IT PS parent. I think OP might have a shot in Sept. You never know!

Agree. 20 is a long shot this year.

See 11:50 above.

"I thought this would be the toughest grade to enter. Even if some families don't return, I figured it would be tough being that there aren't openings compared to K and PS. That being said, we have neighbor that was in teens and was offered a spot and declined due to moving out of state. So the list has definitely moved. Good luck."

Examples of how you won't really know until the doors open in September. OP's chances are very good.

No. They're not "very good". What are you smoking?

I don't want to give the OP a false sense of hope. The original wait list for the PK4 hasn't moved into the teens. I don't know who she's quoting, but the PK4 list hasn't admitted anyone past #2 other than a child whose sibling was also accepted this year. There are two additional new-admit siblings still waiting for a spot. Check the website. http://www.inspiredteachingschool.org/school/appl/waitlist/
Her neighbor is probably talking about the K waitlist (which would be for a child who is in PK4 this year) which had 22 openings and recently offered spots to #13 and #14 (listed as 35 and 36). And two children giving up spots is very different than 20 children. A waitlist # in the 20s for PK4 is likely to not come through. However, I will eat my words if she gets in. Crazier things have happened in this city. Case in point: Marion Barry.

Completely disagree. They're already into the teens and it's only May! OP, a number in the 20s is not bad, especially at such a new school. Hang in there, you're sitting pretty.

We're in the 20s.

I know at least three IT PS parents holding spots at other schools. None are sure what to do. All like IT but other options are intriguing too.

I thought this would be the toughest grade to enter. Even if some families don't return, I figured it would be tough being that there aren't openings compared to K and PS. That being said, we have neighbor that was in teens and was offered a spot and declined due to moving out of state. So the list has definitely moved. Good luck.

Where are you on the waitlist?

I'm curious what our chances are of getting an offer for a PreK4 spot at IT.
