Does anyone know when results will be sent out? |
It’s usually 6pm |
Depends on the program – it says it right on the website.

Thank you! Much appreciated. |
Also, the waitlist moves a lot in the days following. I wish you all good luck! |
I got the ATS result about an hour ago... now to figure out whether to take it or not.
Outside of DCUM where else is a good spot to read reviews/gather opinions from others who have gone through the option schools? |
If you got into ATS, take it. If you don’t like it, you can always transfer back to your neighborhood school. |
Agreed. ATS isn’t as good as private school (they still have big class sizes, they still use APS’s “meh” curriculum), but it’s better than many of the neighborhood schools. That said, if you’re in one of the affluent NA schools, ATS may be a downgrade. |
If we are #10 on the waitlist for HB, does that mean tenth overall, or tenth from the allotted three spots for our elementary? |
I think it is 10th for your school. We weee third for our school. List never moved |
Thanks! |
Does anyone know how many applicants there were for arlington tech? |
So, I watched the results live for HB and it showed the number of waitlisted students - let's say it was 15 on the zoom call. When I received our lottery results, we are number 19 on the waitlist. How is this possible when the zoom clearly showed only up to 15 waitlisted? Where did the extra students come from? Did APS screw this up like everything else they do? |
I think twins count as one for the drawing. But that would explain more than a 1-2 seat difference. Are you sure you were watching the correct draw? |
As a twin parent I will confirm that twins have results that are right next to each other in the lottery (so if one twin is #2 the other twin is #3). if there are five sets of twin in a middle school maybe that could account for the difference the PP saw? |
