[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Science Focus really doesn't have a 'lottery'.  Unlike ATS, it has a neighborhood zone.  Due to kid population in that zone---there are very few spots left for people outside the 'team'. You have to be in Jamestown/Key/Taylor zones to lottery in.  If you live in Key--you get automatic entry into ASF because they can't force any family to do immersion.  I think there were only 1 or 2 spots last year available for kids not living in the neighborhood zone.

ATS is a county-wide school.  This is COMPLETELY different than ASF.  It has not in-boundary.  It is a true lottery.[/quote]

Ok so correctiom -- when do familes get notified about results of the ATS countywide lottery and when do families from the Jamestown/taylor cluster find out if they get off the waitlist?  And once notifed, how long do you have to decide? [/quote]

What is wrong with Jamestown/Taylor?  If I were in that cluster I wouldn't bother trying to get into ATS or ASF.

I am an ASF parent, btw.  If the school is good--pick the one closest to home and the one the neighborhood kids attend.  It will make your life much easier.

Let me guess---you read the recent Post article highlighting these schools.... :roll:[/quote]
