[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year Inspired 2nd grade had 2 lottery seats and 46 on the waitlist. Only 1 offer had been made by August. Then 29 offers by October!

The parents of 27 kids had ranked Inspired higher than the school the kid ultimately attended, and they still didn't move the kid.

What does that say? Preference for stability? Or they liked the school they got more than they thought they did?

Irrelevant detail: we moved our kid in the last week of September in PK-3, and it made her very happy.

Now she's #15 at inspired 2nd grade, which is a September or later offer, if at all.[/quote]

Absolutely guessing here, but I would think that people moving in 1st are already fairly settled somewhere and less inclined to take a spot offered in September or October than families at other grade levels. [/quote]

We moved our son into 1st at Inspired well into September.  We do not regret it.  They may possibly prefer parents who have a STRONG preference for ITDS as we did.[/quote]

What they do is they don't move their list until late in the summer, so people who aren't that into it might have gotten off the list by then.[/quote]
