Thanks PP! For 1, I'm just puzzled about how they are not expecting for so very few students out of 200+ 8th graders at Hardy to go MacArthur. I was thinking at least half of Hardy would go to MacArthur, say 100. Then we have 185 'lotteried' kids now. 285 kids in 9th grade for a school with 800 students capacity seems a bit nuts. [/quote]

The answer is that majority of Hardy kids did not pick MA and went to JR.  This is very obvious since MA is a title 1 school.

The other answer is that did not list MA high and got in and went with a higher rank school.

SY22-23 Hardy 8th grade sent 55 to JR, 55 to MacArthur

SY23-24 Hardy 8th grade sent 78 to JR, 21 to MacArthur

But isn't this the first year Hardy students won't have the option for JR?

Before MacArthur existed, Hardy was only sending ~100 students to Wilson/JR, so I think that's an upper bound on how many from any given Hardy class will end up at MacArthur. MacArthur is aiming for 200 students per grade, so will likely be at least 50% OOB going forward. It was 70% OOB in SY23-24.
