[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a bunch of families with rising 9th graders on our street this year and went through this ourselves a couple years ago with our daughter (zoned for Northwood). All put either Blair or Einstein as their first and second choice. No one got Blair (in my many years of knowing kids going through this, I have never known a kid unless sibling linked or accepted to the CAP/STEM program to get Blair through the lottery - literally not once). One of the kids got Einstein (was his first choice). All the other kids got their third - Northwood.

Obviously this is anecdotal, but seems a total waste of a spot to put Blair. You’re not going to get it. Wheaton and Einstein are a crapshoot but at least there is a small chance. [/quote]

Everyone says this, but my (perpetually lucky) oldest daughter got Blair in the first round DCC lottery with no sibling or any hook/program. Home school is Einstein. Then this year, my youngest daughter’s best friend did too- no hooks or anything, no siblings, no program, zoned for Northwood. It happens. Just not often. But if you want Blair, put it first![/quote]

The school's overcrowded. There just aren't a lot of spots, especially since anyone who has Blair as their home school wants it.[/quote]

Wheaton and Einstein are more overcrowded than Blair now. The only DCC school with available space is Kennedy.[/quote]

I have kids at Blair and Wheaton,  and Wheaton does not seem overcrowded (except at the terribly designed pickup loop).  Blair had several trailers (mine graduated 2 years ago). Not sure what the numbers are though. [/quote]

23-24 preliminary numbers:

Blair 363 over capacity
Einstein 418 over capacity
Kennedy 312 under capacity
Northwood 231 over capacity
Wheaton 484 over capacity
