[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are #2 for HB 6th. Are we #2 for our school, or the whole HB 6th grade lottery pool? DS actually decided he's fine with neighborhood school, but is there any chance? There's like no way, right?[/quote]

I knew the #2 kid at my kid's school. #1 got in b/c one kid didn't take the spot. #2 had a sib there and was very sad. (which is also proof that the sibling conspiracy is false).[/quote]

The sibling conspiracy is very false. As an HB mom, we know many families with one kid at HB and others at other schools who applied but did not get in. We also know families with more than one kid at HB. But even with these, a lot of kids didn't get in the first time. Like they applied in 6th didn't get in but then finally got in in 9th.

It is amusing to me that people need to see this for themselves to confirm it's not a big conspiracy - sounds like another one just learned now that they saw it too.

The conspiracy is not that siblings automatically get in; it is that connected families are able to get more than one kid in.

Look closely at the families that do have more than one child at HBW.  Maybe you will understand then. [/quote]

Does this relate to the theory ATS has a disproportionate # of Republican parents vs the zoned schools? [/quote]
