[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And how much the teachers/APS are willing to backdoor your kid in. There is always the HB admin loophole. [/quote]

This is horrible but I know it happens. We know someone bragging that she knows her 5th grader is going to get in. Older sibling goes there. Not that I understand how they rig lottery or just replace kids once they see the list. [/quote]

I really do not think this is true. I am probably way closer to admin at HB than others posting on this thread and I truly cannot imagine them doing this. [/quote]

NP. I will let you know in a couple of weeks. Mom at our school told a whole group the HB principal told her they have a way of making things happen. If her kid gets in or not, will let ya’ll know. [/quote]

I don't think they replace kids who legit make it on off the lottery.  I think they exceed capacity by a little OR a kid leaves mid-year and they don't go to the waitlist and let in something through a principal side deal OR they go over by a kid knowing eventually someone will leave and then don't let another student in at that time.  Many ways around it.[/quote]

I mean is anyone cross checking who walks in the door 6th grade school year and the lottery results?  There is no way for a citizen to verify that ONLY lottery winners are enrolled, because the lottery just shows a result of possible offered seats (no names, no matriculation, etc)[/quote]
