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.

Shall we derail this with ATS hate? As of right now, it's featured on the APS landing page:

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.
