[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about Latin 2nd Street for 8th and 9th? No sibling. [/quote]

OP here - but are those two siblings with each other? The one going into 8th and the one going into 9th? Or are you asking, for example, because you're going to lottery for your rising 8th grader this year and then if he doesn't get in, again next year for 9th? [/quote]

Oh and would you change schools in October?[/quote]

Trying for 8th, would potentially try again for 9th. I see that it’s 4% for 9th (to be honest, may rank a selective HS higher). I’m guessing that it’s essentially zero for 8th. Would be willing to switch in October. [/quote]

OP here!

Latin 2nd for 8th - It's hard to say exactly, because while you can see in the data how many matches have sibling preference, you can't see how many of the waitlisted people are siblings for charter schools - to my knowledge, that data is only made available for DCPS schools.

Four years ago, Latin 2nd matched 4 kids for 8th and they were ALL siblings, and outside of that year, they've matched 0 and taken 0-3 off the wait list, so I would predict that those were all siblings, making your chances zero. Possible one or two no-preference kids have slipped in in the last five years, but I doubt it, and even then, with waitlists of 180+, you're still talking about a less than 1 percent shot. Sorry.

Latin 2nd for 9th - You're correct, it's 4%. [/quote]
