District 20 starved for Pre-K seats
District 20 has the greatest deficit of seats for pre-kindergarteners in the city, according to a report released earlier this month by Public Advocate Bill de Blasio.
Applications for Pre-K seats in city schools outweigh the number of seats in every borough, at a rate of four to one in Brooklyn and Staten Island. For District 20, there are more than eight applicants for every available slot, according to the report.
Parents are struggling to find a spot for their child, including Ridgeite Kate Lezama.
