I have a ds born in October 2003. His preschol is predominently girls, which has been a point against it for next year and one of the reasons causing us to consider public K. When we went to the 183 orientation I was suprised to see many more girls as well. HAve other people seen this in their preschools or other situations-i.e. generally more girls than boys?

We've had the opposite problem for our dd's two years of preschool. Very few girls. [ Reply | More

Current 183 parent: I wouldn't worry too much. A lot of families don't even go to orientation. I even met one parent who came w/out his twins. Now that G&T results are out, there will probably be some girls who won't be enrolling. I met a few at orientation who were waiting to hear, including some siblings. FWIW, this year's K has many more boys than girls, also the case at PS6. Welcome to the school. It's a great place, and I hope you and your family agree. [ Reply | More

Seems like a strange reason to choose public over private, no? My 2002 ds has 15 boys and 9 girls in his K class. [ Reply | More

Are you sure it is like that for K? My dc's school has more girls, until you get to the 5/6 program. More summer and fall boys than fall girls. [ Reply | More
