The current study examined how families navigated the rules and admissionsrequirements of Washington, DC's common enrollment lottery for public preschool.Informed by ethnography and case study methods, multiple in-depth qualitativeinterviews were conducted with two Black mothers and one White mother over thecourse of a year to understand their processes for navigating the school lottery. Despitethe lottery telling parents to rank schools in the order of their preference, informal ruleswere identified via lottery preferences and prior waitlist information. Race shapedparticipants' school search processes as well, with both Black mothers indicatingconcerns regarding how some schools would treat their children. While all threeparticipants reviewed DC data on waitlists, school quality, and academic curriculum, theystill relied heavily on information from other parents to get specific experiences aboutschools. Despite an abundance of research supporting the importance of early childhoodeducation on later outcomes, the mothers in this study downplayed the importance of preschool, perhaps in response to the level of effort expended on the lottery process.Their focus for the most part was on the later elementary years and beyond. Quantitativedata on school demographics, waitlists, and school ratings are also analyzed to show howschool- and ward-level structural constraints informed mothers' processes. The studyoccurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a unique opportunity to show howfamilies adjusted to school decisions during this historic event. By the last interview-about one year after the study began-all three mothers were participating in the lotteryagain.
