Curious about what you hope to see? I'm pretty sure it's done electronically. It's not like they are just pulling names out of a hat.

Do they announce names or is it just "assigned" numbers?

I watched it. The only useful info you can see of how many kids applied from your school so you get a sense of your kids chances but since they use an anonymous ID number you can't know if your kid got in.

I thought maybe the unique ID number was generated when submitting the application and could be found in SchoolMint but no such luck.

Yeah to the extent people think the HBW lottery is rigged, this doesn't really do anything to prove otherwise.

Of course we can’t know our numbers, otherwise how would the fix be in?

Based on the kids that got in from our school the past 2 years, it's definitely not rigged.

It's not 100% rigged, but the families with multiple students, or PTA President children, fishy...

Is there a lottery for 9th grade if you are coming from outside APS?
