[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I was hoping for slightly better numbers, but as expected I'll be watching waitlists all summer and fall, looks like. But we matched with John Lewis which we're excited about!

For K:
1	Ross Elementary School		Waitlisted - #24	
2	Garrison Elementary School		Waitlisted - #10	
3	Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS		Waitlisted - #17	
4	E.L. Haynes PCS - Elementary School		Waitlisted - #6	
5	John Lewis Elementary School		Match (enrollment pending)	
6	Lee Montessori PCS - Brookland	Sibling Offered	Waitlisted - #1

For 1st Grade: 
1	Ross Elementary School		Waitlisted - #45	
2	Garrison Elementary School		Waitlisted - #20	
3	Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS		Waitlisted - #35	
4	E.L. Haynes PCS - Elementary School		Waitlisted - #8	
5	John Lewis Elementary School	Sibling Offered	Waitlisted - #1	
6	Lee Montessori PCS - Brookland		Match (enrollment pending)

We put Lee down without much thought and will be turning down that offer - but is it just me or is it crazy that we got an offer for 1st from them with what must be a pretty crappy lottery number? They must be really falling in popularity. [/quote]

Folks with "really crappy lottery numbers" get waitlist numbers in the hundreds. Looks like you got a fairly decent lottery number, all things considered.[/quote]

PP here. No, not for 1st grade at these schools. Here's the number my rising 1st grader got vs the length of the waitlist last year for 1st at each school:

Ross - 45/65
Garrison - 20/22
ITDS - 35/48
EL Haynes - 8/21
John Lewis - Not relevant, as that #1 is clearly b/c of sibling preference

We'll have to wait until the Tableau dash is updated for this year to say for sure - maybe Garrison was a little more popular this year, maybe Haynes was a little less popular, but overall, I'd guess his lottery number was in the bottom 30%. That's pretty crappy. [/quote]
