[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I mean here is that Kennedy is the smallest school in the DCC, and it also has almost no programs of interest to my artsy kid.  Are the odds somewhat disproportionately higher that kids - any kids - could get assigned there even if they rank it last, simply by virtue of the fact that the school theoretically has more room?[/quote]

Yes. MCPS is trying to steer more kids to Kennedy for two reasons:

1) To improve the profile of the school by infusing higher achieving kids into the student population

2) To offset the crowding at schools like Wheaton and Blair[/quote]

I feel like MCPS is doing this with the NEC schools. Trying to steer more kids to Paint Branch as opposed to Blake.[/quote]

Actually, Springbrook is the least populated of the NEC schools so I would expect more the steering to be directed there. But it could be happening to Paint Branch too, cause you’re right that Blake is definitely the most popular NEC high school.
