Thanks for the information, but being rude is totally unnecessary.

Greetings everyone. I was wondering if some of you who recently went through the school lottery would share your experience with me; preferably parents with children entering into Pre-k 3 and 4. I find myself having severe anxiety about this process as my son will be attending school next year and I believe that the application needs to be completed in December. I have been researching schools for some time and I've narrowed it down to a few schools that I want him to attend, but they're all popular schools, so IDK if he will get into them. I want him in a safe, diverse school that does very well academically. I DO NOT want him to attend the neighborhood school. Please share your experience with me and offer any tips and/or advice that you may have. Thanks in advance.
