[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although, am I right PP that that is the initial lottery?  I suspect another good 25-50 will be admitted from the wait list.  [/quote]

You are correct, the initial lottery was 15 6th graders.  At a July Cluster PTA meeting, the principal said that a lot of Wilson & LT students from 5th had registered at SH, and that 84 of 89 5th graders from Watkins had registered.  There are also potential students who live in bounds, but did 5th grade at a non-feeder school (say Two Rivers, or Brent OOB).

My big point is that the number of 5th grade slots at feeder schools about equals the number of 6th grade slots at SH.  The more desirable SH becomes, the higher the rate of 5th graders going on to 6th.

In 2011-12, SH 6th was underenrolled and had to really work the WL right around now.  In 2012-13, by July, SH 6th had more than enough registered students.

So, my guess is there will not be another 25, certainly not another 50 students, admitted to SH this fall.

Anyone's guess could be right, and unfortunately, there is not easy way to get data on that kind of question, I've only found it by going to PTA / LSAT meetings and asking.[/quote]
