[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say on the lottery that we were told that kids with numbers up to about 30 likely will get a spot off the wait list. We were in the high single digits and were offered a spot in mid June [/quote]

Yes, and I think this guidance is conservative, especially for schools with two immersion classes.  They often get to more like 40 before the start of the year.  In recent years I've known families with WL numbers in the 50s and 60s to get an offer sometime during the fall.  Note that when there is an opening after school starts, the WL can go faster because people are more likely to decline the offer.

That said, we were very unlucky last year!  I'm wondering what kind of wait list numbers have a shot for first grade, but I never see that mentioned.[/quote]

SCES parent here. From what I've seen over the course of a couple of kids, numbers 1 and 2 always get in at first grade because the class ratios shift. Then, you have some kids move out after K because the commute or the language isn't working. This is not a promise, but I'd think up to #5 would come into the program in first grade easily. After that, kids need to test in. [/quote]
