[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In looking at each school's information sheet in the lottery database I'm confused by the listing of preferences. are they listed in any particular order? I would assume they would be listed from strongest/first preference to least. But, in many cases "proximity" preference is listed above "sibling enrolled" (meaning OOB sibling...sidenote...I know they are trying to get away from the term "out of boundary" but that only makes this more confusing!). Is it true that a family with proximity preference would get a spot before an OOB family who is already attending the school? That's whack. Also, I noticed "sibling accepted" is listed before "sibling enrolled" in the preference listings. I really hope this is saying a family with a kid already at a school get preference behind a family who isn't even enrolled yet. [/quote]

I found an explanation in the FAQs...there is provides the list of preference in order (for DCPS at least). The school fact sheets should list them in order too.
