So why doesn’t it go by zoned school rather than school you attend?[/quote]

It’s calculated based on the number of kids who attend each APS ES/MS. It’s a more tangible number than trying to calculate the # of kids based on zoned schools. Maybe it’s a way to throttle the number of option kids who literally would win the lottery twice.

Plus, of course, they have a token seat for non-APS kids.

It all seems pretty fair to me. [/quote]

If you live in the county you should have a equitable chance regardless of if your kid attends neighborhood school or not. [/quote]

If you already won one lottery for ES I don’t think you should be eligible at all for another. How is that fair to the other kids who didn’t get in for ES? Be thankful you get any spots.

If you are coming from outside APS, your chances are about as good as the allotments from ESs in North Arlington. Move to school with low # of applicants if you want to boost your chances.

I have some issues with the HB lottery- more that I think they need to expand the program since there is demand and the regular HSs are crowded. But having kids at option schools able to lottery in because they already won a lottery is absurd.  Up until this year, basically everyone that applied to Claremont got in. Hardly "winning."[/quote]
should say "unable to lottery in"[/quote]

Yeah my impression is that it isn't that hard to get into the bilingual schools via lottery.[/quote]
