How does HB Woodlawn lottery work?

[Anonymous]

Anyone that would have a lawsuit over a lottery has so many other issues they should be dealing with.

Uh. No.

No one knows their number prior to “selection”. Been through the hb scam 10 times now across my kids.

It is a complete scam. Admin transfers a granted all the time when APS sees they are going to be sued for one reason or another.

Just costs about 20k in legal fees and takes a year or two but when they are threatened with a real case they cave. They do not want their precious “lottery” system compromised when a student who needs the smaller classes has a case.

You have no idea what you are talking about. If they are doing an admin transfer (and no those do not happen all the time), they could just do it. It would not go through the lottery.

If they did an admin transfer, there would be a paper trail -- hiding it within the lottery, along with the cranky school board members, makes it a "very rare" event or so they claim.

You don’t even know what an admin transfer is.

Administrative placement occurs when the parents build a case showing hardship where the child would benefit from the HBW environment because learning disability, bullying, or other defects present at their neighborhood school, and psychologist specify that a school like HBW is only remedy.

But feel free to educate me if I am misunderstanding, instead of casting baseless insults.

It's not that simple. Having applied for an admin transfer in ES, it's not easy. I didn't even ask for one school, I asked for any school other than the one my kid was in. During that time, a couple of people sued that school and two families got an admin transfer to other non-lottery schools. In middle or high, I doubt it would happen but if it did, I think the kid would have to try another non lottery school first before moving to a smaller school.

Also, there's an even smaller school than HB. Langston.

How does one get into Langston?

I'm not going to educate you. Educate yourself or stay clueless. IDC.

So I posted my research and thoughtful commentary, and again with the insults. So again, I believe the county hides admin transfers in the opaque lottery process. What a boondoggle, squeaky wheels get private school on taxpayer dime.

I’m guessing this strikes a nerve for you because you took advantage? You got yours, congrats!

Ok you go on believing your conspiracy theories then. We cant fix crazy. Good luck with your lawsuit for your kid not getting in. Please let us know when that starts. I’ll get my popcorn.

Nicely done.

Thank you. PS: I found all the docs and was going to post them with page numbers but decided not to b/c this idiot is too lazy to do their own real research. Can't help stupid. (my grandfather used to say...or was it fix?)

My kid is best friends with the one kid who got in from outside APS. Your chance is about 1 in 40.

Everyone has the same shot at HB. Some people can't handle that when their own kids don't get in.

point 1: No. Depends on the ES and MS. Each school is alloted seats so Cardinal is something like 5 spots for 50 kids so a 10% chance and some S. ARL schools 4 kids apply for 2 spots so 50%. Outside of APS, 1 seat. Point 2: Yes.

Last year 3/3 students (100%!!) who applied from Carlin Springs got in HB Woodlawn, so there's your cheat code. Enroll your kid at Carlin Springs!

APS allots seats based on school population. They don't control how many apply.

So you confirm it's a secret conspiracy. Those gosh darn Carlin Springs families are all connected, bibe-ers, on the school board, are teachers, what are the other cheats? Oh yeah, got a doc to write a letter saying only HB will work those three kids' educations. /s

The spots are allocated based on school population. Larger schools have more slots. APS can’t control how many apply. If this is that important to you and it sounds like it is then yoh can move to a school where fewer apply.
