[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charters can essentially pick their students through barriers to entry and subtle (and not-so-subtle) signals to parents who (consciously or not) choose to self-segregate.

Just the fact that they get more engaged families (who exercise choice) makes them stronger than your typical neighborhood DCPS.[/quote]

That is such bullshit, you lying liar-pants.  Your pants are aflame.

EVERYONE uses the lottery system to get in to every school.  You may have preference at certain schools due to physical location (e.g., your local DCPS) or a sibling already enrolled.  Nonetheless, the lottery systems ensures EVERYONE goes through the same doors in a randomized order.  The charters don't get to choose their students.

What a load of crap.   :roll: [/quote]

Does a student IB for a neighborhood school have to enter the lottery?[/quote]

For now --

Yes lottery for PK3 and PK4 even for your IB neighborhood school.

If you are entering school mid-year (Oct -- March) you have to sign up via MSDC but there is no 'lotterying' for slots.
