[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I've never seen the lottery number decrease from attrition more than they increase. My child had a waitlist number for one of the charter middles last year that was a number that sometimes gets in, sometimes does not. He did not get in but the tableau reflects that the school actually took more kids off the waitlist than his number was. For example, let's say his initial waitlist number was 103. The school says it took 107 off the waitlist. But my kid ended up still with a single-digit waitlist number when the school closed its doors. So some siblings must have jumped in during the summer. We saw this, as his number increased by 1 or 2 a few times in the summer. Broader point -- if you're right on the edge of the highest number the school has ever taken off the WL, you're looking at a tough September where your kid maybe gets close and then gets shut out at count day. Your kid is not getting in over the summer, if they get in at all. [/quote]
