Not sure about prek but in upper grades for sure.
Don't listen to this bitter PP. There are no facts to prove this theory.
Bitter PP here...
I have friends and colleagues who work in title 1 schools around the city who confirm this every year.
It's true even if you don't want to believe it.

No, of course not.
uh, yes. don't know of any HRCSs who take kids off the waitlist after Count Day. It's over.
If they take students, they have to follow the waitlist.
And yes, there are HRCS that take students after count day if there are spots. Two Rivers is an example.
The difference is that if the DCPS school is a neighborhood school they have to accept a child.

I do. Latin took a kid from BASIS after count day. And BASIS has consistently taken 5th graders after count day.

I meant, can they enroll kids not in the order of the waitlist after count day. It sounds like in years past schools have done this.
