CCPCS PK3: ~ 1/2 of the slots have gone to siblings the last 2 years. +/- 16 slots available to non-siblings.

Note- PK3 is really the only shot you have there. Most openings that happen at other lower grades go to siblings.

For 2013 - (non-common lottery year) there was a drawing for siblings for K as there were not enough expansion spots for the siblings of current students.

I asked this same question about charter sibling slots back in May when the common lottery results came out:

To my knowledge, this info has never been made available in any consolidated fashion, except for instances of individual schools (for example, Mundo Verde published their results showing siblings admitted in each grade).

Thanks!

Oh - sorry, yes I agree. Myschool DC should be publishing it if the school is in the common lottery.

If you select Brent for PK3, for example, you can see that 15 IB sibs were enrolled and 1 was waitlisted for some reason. 10 IB were accepted, 14 IB were waitlisted. 3 OOB sibs were waitlisted,

This is what is confounding about the lottery to some people. You're supposed to rank by preference but if you were OOB for Brent it was effectively a trashed line. If you're OOB at a a school where sibs and IB kids aren't even getting spots! pick another school - charter, city-wide DCPS. Chances are low but at least there's a fraction of a chance.


I believe she's asking about charter schools- I'm also curious to find this information.

I haven't been able to track this down and was wondering if anyone has a link to this. Thanks!
