You know it already: Kindergarten Admissions in New York City are a frightening mess. Lotteries are the norm for all schools and parents aren't even guaranteed a spot at their locally zoned school. In The Kindergarten Shuffle, Julia faces the prospect of a failing local school. From private school, home schooling, gifted and talented, and public school lotteries, she quickly overwhelmed. Julia discovers that school choice is really a euphemism for school chance and her options quickly winnow to a very scary number: zero.

The Kindergarten Shuffle is one of the most painfully realistic movies ever filmed about the New York City school admissions process. Everyone preparing to go through the process should see this movie! --Alina Adams. The New York Gifted Education Examiner
