[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My expectations are VERY low but curious anyways. No sibling preference, 6th grade, pretty sure we'd make the move after the year starts.

OP here:

Latin 2nd - 0% 
Latin Cooper - 1%
Deal (OOB) - 0%

As I mentioned on a previous response, it's hard with Latin after 5th grade, because they let in a tiny number of kids each year (2-3) off the waitlist, but for charter schools, I don't have a breakdown of the waitlist by preference group. My guess is that all or nearly all of those kids are siblings, but even if they were all no preference (unlikely) you're only at 1% because the wait is so long (300+). If half of them are siblings, you're at 0%.

For Latin Cooper, we only have two real years of data (the first two years they offered a ton of seats, very different), and they're in a similar spot, but the waitlists are a little shorter (under 300) and they've let as many as 6 kids in, so assuming at least a couple of those were non siblings, you've got your 1%.

Deal never offers seats in the initial lottery (not a single one in the 9 years of data we have), but does usually let in a couple of kids from the waitlist (0-7 in the last five years). Overall chance about 1%, but with that good a number, you're probably in at Latin Cooper, so 0%. [/quote]
