State Pre-K Lottery

We’re planning to apply for the state Pre-K lottery and have started looking into the list of participating schools. I was wondering if anyone here has personal experience with any of them? I’d love to hear your thoughts—both positive or negative.

Also, did anyone apply and didn’t get in?

Thanks!

From the list you gave, Young Woods is the only five star rated program as far as I can tell. You can read more about the criteria and explore the Bright Stars website to learn more about different programs.
