Depends on the school. By mid-September to early October (just before count day) they can really move a ton because a lot of folks don't want to move once school starts so they go through multiple offers before someone takes a slot.

I've played the lottery for 8 years and this is the first year that I've actually "won" (meaning my kid doesn't have to attend his inbound school).

The shepherd k classes last year were huge. Not sure they’ll be making many offers for 1st this year.

We've moved something like 70 spots on the MV8 K list. Still doubt we'll make it off but wow did that number drop fast.

We just got offered 5th for Shepherd, too. Too bad we're moving to Maryland! I think we started at #5?
