SY 2016-2017 Lottery numbers and waitlist data

[Anonymous]

I realize myschoolsdc has the results posted, circa last night. So I know where I got in, and didn't.

Any idea when/where we can find out our actual number (the "random" anonymized unique decimal, zero is good, one is bad...)? And when do they publish the waitlists, so we can compare our decimal with the other lists and play an endless "would have, should have" game?

Just curious, no need to flame me if it's posted but not yet indexed by Google, or if some thread on page 13 mentions and I could have found it by searching and scanning through 18 pages of search results...

I think this took a few weeks to come out last year.

No clue re your first question.

Last year they pout out the waitlists 2-3 weeks after the results. No one knows when it will happen this year.

MyschoolDC staff are answering questions they are getting via Twitter - maybe ask them both questions that way.

Specifically, via Twitter (https://twitter.com/MySchoolDC/status/715862323949383680): @MySchoolDC is there any place I can see how far the waitlists moved last year? Thanks for all that you all do & for reaching out.

?@MySchoolDC: @RookieinDC No prob! And, yes! We'll be updating our data page this month: http://goo.gl/1G3vlP . Stay tuned!

I've emailed Dcps several times asking. Tomorrow, I'm reaching out to the Post to ask them to please look into it.

Do you feel better now, child?

Who are these perpetual Dcps defenders who think it's ok that more than a month after the lottery the data has not been released. I've been tracking the lottery for a full decade and every year, the results have been posted well before now. I have the saved files to prove it. It's so interesting that you want to defend the withholding of information that relates to a publicly funded effort. What's your angle? Are you one of those people who was raised to accept that authority is always right? I hope the media does try and get DCPS to provide the data or if they're not, to publicly account for why not.

I think that DCPS is holding the data for some reason.

My guess is that in some popular schools there are fewer people enrolled at this point and so, on paper at least, it appears there space for some OOB students.

But they either a) don't want to open OOB seats yet in case there is late summer enrollment (upsetting OOB families) or b) they have already let in some OOB and don't want IB families to know it.

Breathe, PPs... I do wish they were more on the ball releasing info but I doubt it's some consipiracy. They just missed a deadline at work, like we all do sometimes.

Also isn't this the data you want? Looks like it's up

No, the data people want is the DCPS school level data. The equivalent charter data for this year is at the bottom of the page you linked to.

that data is only current as of April 1 but it does give an idea of absolute demand at each charter school grade level. I've heard anecdotally about numbers at our DCPS but nothing officially released to public.

You have had nothing better to do for the last 10 years? Sad little man/woman you are. Most people who post your kind of inane drivel are just trolls. It strikes me you are sadly sincere.
