[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only way they can get away with limited enrollment is to make it fair. But it isn't. APS should shut the whole program down.[/quote]

What determines fair? How do you know that the reasons for the small number of students who get in other than through the application process weren't placed there for very good reasons? It truly is a small number, last school year, of the 244 middle school students at HB Woodlawn, 241 came in through the application process and 3 through administrative placement. At the high school level, out of 443 total students, 4 were there by administrative/special placement, and 439 by the countywide lottery. I'm sorry your child didn't make it into HB Woodlawn, but the placements of these students in the school weren't the reason.[/quote]

You are correct that no one knows their circumstances.  That said, with the overcrowding and the implications of that crowding on the attention the remaining children receive, it has become a golden ticket.  We had a serious issue that was handled very poorly by one of our schools.  I want to know why some families get treated well when their kid is troubled and others are treated like an inconvenience.
