Last week, the results of the new unified school lottery were announced. Although Georgetowners have no need to go through the lottery to attend Hyde-Addison, the local elementary school, for Kindergarten onward, they do if they’re interested in the Pre-K level. So every year a certain number of local families apply through the lottery.
Of the nineteen slots for Pre-K for next year, all nineteen were assigned to local families in the lottery. An additional twelve local children are on the wait list. Thus thirty-one Georgetown families applied for pre-K next year. That’s roughly the same as we’ve seen over the last couple years and reflects a strong and steady interest from Georgetown families in their local school.
While we’re on the topic, though, GM should mention that potentially huge changes could be coming to the school boundary/assignment system. He’ll go into depth on that starting tomorrow. For today let’s celebrate the great job Dana Nerenberg and her staff is doing at Hyde!
