[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems they won't be disclosing the length of the waitlist. You can read the minutes of the MSDC Board meeting where this was decided here.

..."Board members expressed concern about the misinterpretation of waitlist data
as indicative of school quality. Board Member Wright thought that some parents
would be dissuaded from applying to schools without waitlists, and several members
agreed. Even though some data are already public through the DCPS and PCSB
websites, some Board members felt that consolidating it would highlight schools with
low waitlists which parents could misinterpret as low performing. ..."

that's a ridiculous assumption.  flip it around and data on low waitlists may provide an incentive for parents to prioritize schools where they have a greater chance of lottery success.[/quote]

This is only for DCPS.  DCPCS still may release.[/quote]
