WAIT LISTS FOR PERRY STREET PREP

Perry Street Preparatory Charter School is only able to open a limited number of seats for new students each School Year. As a result, your student may be placed on the waitlist if there are more applications than available spots. Waitlist information will be communicated through My School DC. If a grade level reaches its enrollment capacity, applicants who are not offered a seat are placed on a waitlist initially. As spots become available, offers are extended to students on the waitlist in the order determined by the lottery results with priority given to Siblings of current Students. We encourage you to monitor your My School DC account and stay alert for updates regarding your student’s placement.
