[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a lot of these schools do open up more in grades 2-5[/quote]

OP here and is that really true? Looking at historical data, it looks like the don't tend to clear waitlists for those grades and actually it's less favorable than for K or 1st. Waitlists overall are shorter but far fewer offers as well. At least until you get to 5th when I assume a lot of schools lose students, clearing more space for kids to come in from the lottery. But 2nd through 4th look less likely, not more likely, unless we get a better lottery number (which we might! I think our number this year was pretty bad based on our results).[/quote]

They stop making offers when they run out of kids on the list.

Is this for PK3?[/quote]

It's everywhere. Can't make an offer if theres nobody to make it too.

Some schools exhaust their lists, some don't.

OP, if this is for PK3, you have no hope at ITS. TR is a maybe. Stokes is a no. Lee, maaaaybe.  At other schools you might get in even with worse numbers, for various reasons.

Did you not match anywhere? Let us help you.[/quote]

1st grade, it's for 1st grade. I know ITS is an extreme long shot at this point. Hoping for better result at one of the others. We have a spot at our IB but we are there this year for K and do not want to stay.[/quote]

It's not out of the question but yes, very unlikely. FYI they tend to move their list later than other schools do.[/quote]
