Movement on APS high school waitlists?

[Anonymous]

It’s now been 6wks since APS announced lottery results for HB, Tech and the IB program.

How much have waitlists moved? I wonder how much more significant movement there will be after private school contracts are due this month and TJ results come out in April.

My kid was 18 on the IB list and got a slot.

Curious how this is going for people this year if they're willing to share. Obviously every year is different, but we're planning for next year. Are kids who want spots in schools like AT getting off the waitlist?

AT has moved 50+ spots for freshman year.

It will be interesting to see if it moves as much as it has in prior years. It is still early and I imagine a lot of kids get serious about making a decision towards the end of the school year and again in August.

Curious to know how much things are moving this year for HB and AT. My first kid moved over 115 spots a couple years back on the AT waitlist, but is that still happening? Gonna try for #2 this coming year and I'm wondering if things have shifted as people have become more familiar with the programs.

Yes

I have a 6th grader in HB. Hoping my 4th grader will join him eventually, but unfortunately no sibling priority. We have been told that there is little movement in lists until HS, because a lot of kids leave HB for other HS, since HB has no Sports and is small...

My kid has moved over 80 spots so far (AT)

Bumping this up from the spring to ask how things shook out this year for your APS freshmen in choice programs or getting transfers, specifically Arlington Tech. Did all of you that wanted a spot eventually get one? I know every year is different but it's our turn to try this year and I'm wondering what our chances really look like.

My kid was 120+ down the Arlington Tech waitlist and was offered a spot in August.

How long was the waitlist?
