[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't agonize over this decision too much --a kid only has about a 10% chance of getting into either school these days. [/quote]

However, some people do get in. In my world, 1/3 kids who lotteried did get in. So people need to plan for that chance. [/quote]

If 1/3 of the people you know who lotteries for Latin got in, that is either a total fluke OR (and more likely) some of them already had kids at the school. Having an older sibling attending Latin almost guarantees you a spot at the school. If you don't have an older sibling attending, your odds are very slim.

In OP's case. I would rank 2nd street higher because the schools are equidistant and the 2nd street physical plant is better at the moment. And then I wouldn't think about it much because if you are lucky enough to get a high enough lottery draw to get into either campus, you will breathe a massive sigh of relief and be happy, and because in that situation, neither school is really a "wrong" choice.

Also if language availability or specific after school activities/clubs are important to you, just contact the school and ask what is available on each campus. Or go to an open house and ask there. Those are better solutions than asking here if the website isn't answering your questions.[/quote]
