PP here. Now I've moved one spot, so I guess they have processed enrollments. Given the newness of the school and all the uncertainty, I felt pretty certain we'd get an offer, but now I'm not so sure. I have a high teens number. What does DCUM predict for the PK3 waitlist?
You're definitely going to get in. They're just a little slow out of the gate, being new. As the summer goes on, schools will give people less time to decide and movement overall will be faster.
The campus is new but school is not. The same people at P st enrolling P are also enrolling 8th St. so not new with the process at all. I agree that you will likely get in. Many people seem to think that the waitlist will move significantly since new campus. I think it will move but not as huge as some may think.
It will move. At a new school in its first year, nobody is a current student. It is easier for people to pass up an offer than to remove their child from a school they currently attend. Also, no upper grades means none of the entering kids are siblings of an upper-grade student. Siblings are more likely to accept offers. The P St campus is hard to get into because there are 96 K students, and a lot of them have PK3 siblings, and the only has 32 or something PK3 spots. At 8th St this year, the cohort sizes are more even, so you don't get that all-sibling effect.
You don’t get as much sibling effect as P but you still do. K gets in will pull in preK 3 and vice versa. So waitlist will definitely move more than P, but I don’t think it’s going to move like some hope it will. For instance last year for P, preK 3 moved total 7 spots and preK 4 18 spots. 8th might go into 30’s maybe but doubt it’s going to go anywhere near 70’s plus. We will have to wait and see.....

Current MV parent - they still haven't proven their concept works. The administration is unresponsive and uncommunicative to parents, the test scores are subpar - in the most recent PARCC testing, my child admitteed they haven't been taught much of what they are testing for. The kids do not receive grades, just binders with confusing rubrics so you can't actually assess their performance level, and there are not enoug special ed teachers for those in need. Oh, and they haven't figured out the DCI feeder school dilema. Need I go on?
So you are taking your child out for 19-20?
Yes, so I’m assuming you are leaving? Almost 50% students at MV scored 4 on PARCC in both ELA and math. I wouldn’t call those scores subpar at all.
Sure. Can you help bump me up on a lottery or pay for private school?
So...unhappy at MV but not enough to go to your IB neighborhood school. Got it.
What are you smoking? I don’t have an IB neighborhood school. Not all of us do.

We are grown ups here. Let’s stop the name calling. I also don’t have an IB neighborhood school - assuming we are talking International Baccalaureate? That’s why we are trying for a charter so we have a chance to get into an IB middle school.
We enrolled at MV8 and yes are very happy too that DCI’s curriculum is IB for middle and high school. For those here not familiar with IB curriculum, look it up. Focus is on critical thinking and analysis. Also read post on MV8 vs. Tyler, mentioned briefly there.

Geez.
Maybe I should be happy I have an impossibly high lottery number? This board is kind of mean-spirited. And before you criticize I’ll take my snowflake self somewhere else so don’t waste your breath.

IB 99% of the time on this forum refers to inbound or inboundary. Meaning your attendance by right school.

Maybe, we did (but I’m sure there’s gotta be a few that didn’t complete enrollment or accept the seat)
Did you’re waitlist number change at all for any other schools you’re waitlisted for?
We are waitlisted for another language immersion charter and our waitlist number moved up by about 7 spots (we still don’t have a chance but there was an update reflected on myschooldc )
You can always call mySchooldc also to find out how soon/what the update process entails.
