[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why a PP is right that it would be fascinating to get the class lists for HB and see who is there that wasn't selected in the lottery.

Remember years ago that then-SB member Nancy Van Doren's twins both magically somehow got spots at HB.  There wasn't a sibling preference, but of all the kids applying from their school it somehow worked out that they both got in.   :roll:

Neither of my kids is interested in HB so this isn't sour grapes, it's simply an APS parent who finds HB a huge waste of resources.[/quote]

There may be cheating— I have no idea—but I can tell you that at HB, twins are considered a single unit. So if one twin’s name is drawn, they both get an offer. This happened for some twins in my kid’s grade/ES. [/quote]

That’s only because Nancy pushed hard for it about half a dozen years ago. Prior to that there wasn’t a twin preference.

Twins made it out of our school to HB and I thought it sucked.  Terrible policy for middle school and beyond.[/quote]
