Fewer
than half of New York City children seeking a free prekindergarten seat
received one in their top-choice public school for the next school
year, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Thursday.
The
school system has about 26,411 prekindergarten seats in either full- or
half-day programs, 97 percent of which have been matched with
applicants.
Over
all, roughly two-thirds of the approximately 41,000 children seeking
seats in September were accommodated, though parents may discover their
children were matched with their fifth or even their 12th choice. About
one-third of children who applied were not matched at all.
