Because those schools both expanded. They will not have slots like that this year.

i don't think that's correct. There are a few new K spots every year because class size gets bigger.

We got into TR 4th for PK3 and declined the spot because we didn't think DD was ready for such a large school/classroom setting at 3 years old. No sibling/teacher preference. We decided to wait and try again in K.

I hope you don't regret that.

We'll be ok!

DP. I pulled my 3 year old from PK3 because she was overwhelmed and the class was a terrible fit. You can't torture your 3 year old just to hold a spot for K ...

PP here. I'm with you. It just wasn't the best timing and wasn't a good fit. If we don't get in for K, we have other options. Wont cry about it! Good luck, PP!

You better have some safeties. The chances are astronomically small.

I mean, for K, everyone has a safety.

yep. compulsory education ftw!

Really? I don't remember it that way.

How old is your oldest? NP here but I distinctly remember it being all about Haynes, Cap City, Stokes, Two Rivers and Lamb. I hardly every see or hear Cap City or Haynes being a top pick unless it's someone that lives nearby.

Op, K seems somewhat easier than PK3 for some reason. You have a shot at any of these schools. Last year I put ITS as my top choice for K "knowing" that we wouldnt get in. Well, we got a decent wait list number and were offered a spot the day before school started. We took it and my child is having the most fabulous year. Good luck!

True but it is super funny. Kind of like Trump getting mad at the leaker.
