Update. We got off LAMB's waitlist last week. At present, we're 7 for DCB and 22 for Stokes.


Are you sticking with LAMB?


No, we passed and are sticking with MV.

LAMB SD match

This is for pk4. Currently at Breakthrough and leaning towards accepting LAMB although still on fence given how happy we’ve been at Breakthrough.


Nice numbers!

We just got a pk3 match at Breakthrough. Can you share your experience?


Absolutely love it. We may actually elect to stay. Incredible teachers and administration. The community is involved but not high strung. Love the super inclusive messages the school puts out. Also, most importantly, our DC has thrived - a level of independence and curiosity we haven’t seen before. Also, the heartfelt way that the teachers and administration have really engraved with and tackled this school from home thing has really impacted me. They care so much and they’ve truly made a really bad situation much better than it might have otherwise been. I almost wish we weren’t faced with this dilemma. We are really only considering leaving for the language component of LAMB (feeder to DCI is also a plus). But like I said, we are still on the fence.



Do you speak Spanish? If yes, I would switch immediately. If no, stay at breakthrough.

Given all the heming and hawing over Stokes’ decision to do distance learning for the foreseeable future, I’m surprised you haven’t moved any.

PK-3

Maury Elementary (In-Boundary) #32
Apple Tree PCS - (Lincoln Park) #20

I don't think I will be getting into Maury, but the Apple Tree Lincoln Park? Any current parents on DCUM please chime in?

Enroll at your IB unlikely to get into any of those for Prk with those numbers.


No for LAMB Kingsbury or MV, I think you have a shot at LAMB SD. The closing of SD in the future and move to Kingsbury will deter many due to the long commute.


Enroll at your IB as you wait. No guarantee and you don’t want to lose your spot.

It depends on siblings but we never got off the list in Prk.

DCB added an extra PK4, so that waitlist might move more than it has in the past.

So we were matched with LAMB (SD Campus)for PK4 but are going to pass up our spot and stick with Breakthrough, which we’ve been incredibly happy with. Just checked My DC School and saw our position had shifted on a few waitlists. We are now

#15 at LAMB Kingsbury
#1 at DC Bilingual
#8 at Yu Ying


We were so on the fence about LAMB (great school from what we hear) that getting our preferred location might make us leave Breakthrough (although we absolutely love it). Anyone have any predictions on if we’ll have to make anymore hard choices?
