[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the past, for the DCPS lotteries, each school was essentially considered it's own lottery with preference offered for in-boundary, proximity, and having sibling preference. I had hoped that as a unified lottery was pursued the lottery would begin providing a weighted preference based on how high you ranked a school--so if you're out-of-boundary for two schools and rank one as your top choice you'd actually have a bit more chance to get a spot at that top ranked school in the initial lottery pull. Trying to match families up with their top choice in the initial lottery will create more stability and help diminish the shuffle in late summer. So will this new lottery incorporate some weighting that gives a family a better shot at getting a spot or will each school's lottery continue to be essentially stand-alone?[/quote] No - I asked this question.[/quote]
