There is some chance. No idea how deep they have gone in recent years, but many families can't make the timing work.

Thank you! That makes sense with the numbers we are seeing.

Curious about the same. Website says my child is waitlisted for pullen in the 220s. Letter I got today says 80. No change to site.

What is CHES?


I'm guessing Capitol Heights Elementary. It is a TAG center.


I would guess it is either
1) You got in or
2) Your child isn't TAG identified or the TAG identification didn't make it to the TAG office.

I think 1 is pretty likely

When was this because PG does not have PreK3 and only a handful of PreK 4


She means the Prek3 montessori. I think she is confused because Dora Kennedy only has entry at K
