[quote=Anonymous]Assuming the standard 2-3 year age gap, the older sibling gets effectively a second lottery draw as soon as the younger sibling enters the lottery for pre-k. For elementary, this is a massive advantage for both siblings. For middle school, older siblings are in a similar situation as only children. If it helps, OP, our only lotteried into a JR feeder in third. It was hard to leave a school we had been in for years, but not as hard as our friends who ended up realizing their “winning” charter seat was lacking by upper elementary or not working for the younger sib, then having to pull both kids and move when both are in 2nd-5th. Happened to many families we know, even those at the high demand charters with a desirable feeder pattern. [/quote]
