dcd: They could measure how many of those kids who get put on waitlists end up getting offers for placement. The point is that you need to look at applicants at some stage to understand the demand.

Please feel free to suggest a measuring system that would be satisfactory.

However, many parents also make other arrangements if their kids don't get in to start with. Some make decisions to move out of DC entirely because private pre-K is too expensive for them. It is sometimes too late. With DCPS, at least they know for sure there's a placement; here, there's no such guarantee.
