[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]

They absolutely transfer kids there who are having issues in their home school.  I know of 2 cases.  On the one hand I empathize and on the other hand it’s not fair either.  [/quote]

Yeah I bet we know the same situation.  To elaborate a child who was a known toxic bully in our middle school disappeared and whaddya know the kid is at HB.

Sounds like a win for your middle school. [/quote]

Probably but it doesn't seem great the kid and family are rewarded.  The kid had stirred up drama left and right and then was getting their comeuppance.  So it felt more like a repreive from the consequences and a do over for the kid.  Which is fine and warranted and they are kids.  But at the school everyone else is trying to get into via lottery?  Not that part.[/quote]
