OP here - I just got an automated email from SchoolMint that we are waitlisted. Logged on that website and got the #; in the 70s. Congrats on having at least one known option for next year. So far we are 0 for 2. Hopefully we have better luck with LAMB (ha) and MySchool.

You will get in with a Wl in the 70s

Yup

The first come, first served statement is really odd. It should be a lottery, just like LAMBs lottery.

I thought it was a few days before myschooldc would publish results but can't find that confirmed anywhere now.

We ended up enrolling. My child has birthday past Sep. 30th but I heard Bethune would take them. Its OK...I like the fact thats its two teachers and only about 14 students in the class which is a much better ratio than the PK3 class at my older child's school. My child learned a little Spanish and loves the socialization. However it would not be a long term school solution for us even if my younger child was not joining their older sibling next year.

So how do you then transition into a school that enforces the age cut off? Since your child is not eligible for PK4 at the other school next year?

Not the PP, but those that I know that did this did two years of PK3.

It was really a s&^%show last year. Why don't they do My School DC?

Because then they wouldn't be able to fill their seats with younger kids and non residents.
