[quote=Anonymous]Your rankings matter. But lottery number matters more. The algorithm assigns seats using the following factors, in order of priority: 1. Preferences (varies by school; many have sibling preferences, DCPS has in-boundary preference for PK3 and PK4) 2. Lottery Number 3. Your Rankings Lottery number trumps your ranking. The reason MySchoolDC stresses that ranking matters is that it's unlike independent charter lotteries, where you could apply to many charter lotteries and then choose one among them later. This year, your rankings are used to assign you a single seat, so rankings matter -- you can't just list off a bunch of potential schools you might want.[/quote]
