[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Among the parents I know, no one has ever gotten any of their top 10 choices.[/quote] This year, according to WaPo, 64% of 24K entrants matched somewhere. But that’s a lot of folks who didn’t. [/quote] And I wonder how many of those who matched did so at a real safety that they either won't use or will do so unhappily/warily. There is no way to really assess this, but I wonder how many people are happy, or at least satisfied, with the results. [/quote] Yep. My kid matched to the school we listed as #12, but only because we put a safety school in at #12. If we'd been able to list 20 schools, it would have been our #20. School choice sounds great in theory, but for it to work in practice, you have to have enough quality options, and DC doesn't. [/quote]
