[quote=Anonymous]It would be much easier in high school. In middle school, parents are aggressively trying to get their kids in. By the time high school rolls around, kids who started elsewhere often prefer to stay with friends / sports. I know, not everyone, but the decision is much more student-driven at that age. Our kid was very far down the waitlist and we were shocked when he was offered a spot, but it was 10th grade and by then he had settled in at his neighborhood school (I think this speaks highly of APS, by the way. Lots of parents are scrambling to find alternatives for their kids before they know if the default option might actually be a better fit.) I imagine it's harder for APS to orchestrate an administrative transfer in the middle school years because of the fever-pitch demand.[/quote]
