I think so. A lot of people who have gotten in have said they are only using it as a safety.

Our wait list number for PK3 for Bethune is around 10. Do you think we'll get called off the wait list?

DD also attended for PreK3 two years ago and it was a great experience for us. Smaller classrooms with 2 FT teachers per class. DD talked about Mr. Rivera and her classmates from Bethune for well over a year after we left! We moved overseas (returning this Fall) and moved to French immersion as a result, otherwise we would've applied for 2015-16. I would definitely recommend the school to others.
Are you at Stokes?
I wish! We're still overseas but will return to DC in a few months. Applied for Stokes, but most likely going private (Lycee Rochambeau). Our WL numbers have been dismal each year for Stokes so I'm not holding my breath.lol Fortunately, we'll have the results before deposits are due.

OK I used to attend and you're really exaggerating here. DC tags are most common. Yes, there are MD tags too. But most families are DC residents.

I challenge anyone reading this to stand out in front if the school in the morning (not just drive past on their way to YY) and do their own audit and then come back and tell me I'm manufacturing this. I'm not
You seem to have a lot of time on your hands. Do you have kids? Do you have a job? Or do you just sit on your lawn and count cars?

Get over yourselves.
Well, you're breaking the law, so I have no problem if someone turns you in for possible residency fraud and you need to explain yourself.
Ha, so true! It's not residency fraud I'm committing, you idiots, it's vehicle registration fraud!
Wow, glad to see someone post for me. But yeah, I'm not committing residency fraud dumbasses. My paystub address is to the home I own and reside in, which is in the District.
When I moved from the District to PG County, my insurance rates went up considerably. Does the phrase "penny wise but pound foolish" mean anything to you?
