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

Possibly.  Just wouldn't [i]count[/i] on it.  DCCAPS would know, but it probably isn't good for them to put out a "typical" number publicly and then have people unhappy if it doesn't get there.

It depends very much on who is in front in the offer queue/where they might live (farther tends to equal less likely to accept a spot once the logistics are seriously considered, though some are willing and others actually move to be closer once in).  Also, I think there was more declining of offers in the past few years due to the prospect of additional hassle during the pandemic (and then stories from that), where there was plenty of adjustment to deal with already, and a new language would make that all the more difficult.  Last year might be a better indicator, but that would be an n of 1.

Several years back, I want to say it might have been in the high teens through mid-summer, but that, again would be an n of 1.  Still, there are occasional drops leading up to and during the school year from the program that open up seats.[/quote]

Fwiw the results letters are putting that 30 number out publicly.  Or they did last year at least.[/quote]
Yes--that 30 number was on the SCES website! I mean there's never a guarantee but previously, that's where they got more often than not. My kid is in 2nd grade. He's had one new classmate in each 1st and second. [/quote]
