Ahh, but if you miss the charter's opening year,  the chance of ever getting in is very slim unless its opening is rocky.

This year people had a 15% (30 spots, 200 applications) chance to get into Lee.  Next year, sibling preferences will cut 1/3 available seats, so a  10% chance, and that is if interest doesn't increase the way it typically does after the first year.  3rd year and every year after unless they open another classroom, you are looking at 8-10 open spots for 200-800 applications.  Good lucky with that.

I'd take SELA, which has already gained a year worth of experience.  I think it will make it.  It might be like shinning stars, a charter that is never "hot" but that people who are actually enrolled adore.  While Hebrew and not having a pk3 will always limit its appeal, it has a lot going for it - immersion for the hoards shut out of stokes, MV , yin ying, and Lamb and potential community partners (the JCC?).  The fact it can raise money for a playground means someone believes in it!
