[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More artsy type kids apply so more get in. FWIW I work at an elementary school and the kids who got in from our school last year did not seem like “HB” kids[/quote]

The 3 kids that went from our elementary school last year were also not "artsy" either.  I know one that was high on the waitlist who was "artsy" who tried to get those 3 to bow out so she could take their spot, lol[/quote]

Including my kid, the three that got in from our school that year were not at all artsy.  My kid is neither artsy nor sporty.  The next year had 2 extremely sporty kids and one artsy one.  The middle school elective offerings skew artistic, which are likely a big draw, and the lack of sports teams is a detractor for many.  The self (family)-selection aspect is real.

Sorry that none of OP's "smart, well-rounded kids" didn't get in.  If they had, she would surely be here defending their lottery win as completely fair – especially if they all got in.   :roll:

This happens every damn year.  It's not a magnet school.  It's a lottery school.  [/quote]
