Anyone giving up their LATIN 5th grade spot?

7:58 here - it is a sibling.

It doesn't matter - that means you're behind 9 other siblings. If 10 rising 6th graders leave, then you'll get in. That is highly unlikely.

Based on past movement, no. But if you can stick it out elsewhere until high school, the sibling has a good chance to get in in 9th grade.

??? Can you elaborate?

Someone at Latin sells spots after the lottery is over. So, if you are WL #12, for instance, you may loose your spot for WL student #345 because he/she paid someone there. Did you get it?

You guys. Come on. That isn't true. I know lots of people who had reasonable WL numbers there and they got in on a reasonable schedule.

I'm in the low 200s and I would absolutely pay for a spot if that were an allowed option.

a couple of years ago we were in the low 20s and got a call the Saturday before the first day of school.

Pur child graduated from Lain. They do not sell spots. All this thread communicates is that the model/vision/curriculum is unique and desirable and its time for a second campus. The charter board takes proposals every year. Its time for a second Latin.

The Latin Board has committed to starting one - within next 4 years.

If you know about this, you should report details to My School DC, they monitor the WL after the lottery is over so can look into this.

Truly one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen stated on DCUM.
