[quote=Anonymous]I think the lottery itself is very hard to cheat. People absolutely do falsify their residency (in which case you wouldn't need to cheat on the lottery, if you wanted to enroll in a school you claimed as your IB). People might be faking Equitable Access eligibility. There can be funny business with people getting an inside tip when there's an empty spot at a school with no waitlist, or one family told the class is over-full when another family is told there is a seat. The PCSB does mystery callers pretending to be families of students with special needs, and schools do sometimes get dinged for handling it badly. I feel confident that those things happen, it's very hard to detect and enforce. But the idea that the people who run MySchoolDC are somehow rigging it? That's crazy. Why would they? If they're trying to create less geographic or income segregation, they're doing a really poor job of it.[/quote]
