Mid 50s but since they went through the first 30 (offers) mid-50s really means mid-20s. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for you! Good luck OP. Mid-20s makes it a lot better!

We are mid 50s for LAMB also. Doesn't seem like as far of a reach hearing that

I attended the lottery results day, and they said that they got to somewhere around 30 on the waitlist last year. I think they had more siblings this year, but good luck! (We are #356 so no chance. haha)

What's the expected movement for PK4?

Again on the lottery results day, they said that there were only 3 PK4 slots (non-sibling), so I would expect very little.

I think they actually had fewer sibling spots taking up lottery slots this year than last year. My daughter started this year in PK3 as a sibling and it was a large sibling class.

Ah, I was just guessing about the siblings part...We were told LAMB had 60 spots available for PK3 and PK4. After siblings, only 30 spots and 3 of those went to PK4; then with sibling pairs (if one got in, the other did too), they only got to around #24 on the long list of names. I just assumed it wasn't possible that they could get to 30 on the wait list based on those numbers (so fewer non-sibling spots available this year) but definitely could be mistaken!

I think they had 11 pk3 slots last year and know they had 30 this year. So chances are good it will go at least 20-30 past the original 30 spots.

Were you told they only got to #24 by someone at the school? I was told by the school they got to 30 on the pK-3 list but now I'm worried I got the wrong information!

Would be nice to see some real movement on the PK4 WL. Early 20s currently, but got matched to my other top choice, Two Rivers at their new campus and WL #46 at the main campus, so feeling good either way.
