[quote=Anonymous]The salient takeaway is "rank the schools in the order you want them." Some people want to hear about the labor pains; most people just want to see the baby. This is a public good allocation problem. There is more demand for the public good (high quality public school seats) than supply. The system is designed to equitably and efficiently (based on individual preference) distribute that good, given a rather odd-set of preconditions (boundary priority, sibling priority, pre-screening of selective high-schools, etc.) I understand the desire for more information about the process/model. But those details shouldn't change your strategy. Research the schools for your child(ren), find the best fit(s) for you, and rank those schools accordingly. [/quote]
