Spaces can open up when students assigned to the first choice school are invited to magnet/application programs.

We got this yesterday evening. And my child, although a top performer at school was not identified. The criteria says all children that meet the criteria will be selected. I need a better guideline for what the criteria are.

Wait, what? We are talking about HS programs, so no kids are identified. They apply. Are you maybe mistaking this for a MS thread?

There are a few hundred spots for the entire county. Most kids are shut out.

Am I having a stroke? The topic of this thread is DCC lottery, which is about which high school kids in the DCC attend, depending on a preference form we submitted months ago.

Oh I apologize. I am referring to the middle school criteria based lottery for Takoma Park and Eastern.

There is no criteria and based off preference except a few magnet or other programs that have very limited spots. You are not guaranteed your preference.

Seems like I posted on the wrong thread. Taking it off.

I wouldn’t hold out much hope for round 2. I don’t know anybody who has gotten in, in round 2. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen , but, I wouldn’t count on it.

For those of us whose kids got their THIRD choice, I find your post a bit irritating. But I get it. Does anyone know who they prioritize requests in Round 2?

It's worth a try. I know a few kids who got in second round.
