Any intel on the Specialty Programs Lottery?

[Anonymous]

I am wondering when the results will come out. We are considering privates if we don't get our placement, so for me, the sooner the better.
Does anyone have any news to share on when we might know something more?

I recently heard late April/early May

Thanks. I guess everything is delayed, and late April is right around the corner, now...

I received an email 4/18 with a placement

Received an email on 4/18 as well, offering placement

Yep, placement emails went out 4/18. If you didn't get an email you're waitlisted, but you can go online to see what number you have. https://pgcpsmdc.scriborder.com/

Thanks for the replys. OP here, and we were waitlisted for Robert Goddard Montessori. Is there a source from previous years that shows how much the waitlists move?

What year and what waitlist number? I think there's a decent amount of movement for preK-3, since a lot of parents apply and then decide they can't deal with the half-day program, but there's also only 60 spots, so if you're #100 on the waitlist, there's really no chance.

We are #23 for PK3, so maybe that is okay?

Does anyone have any insight on Overlook Spanish Immersion?
