[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A mix.  Some people do Basis #1.  Some people might have a sibling at Latin Cooper so that for them went ahead of 2nd Street.  Some people prefer a Hardy/Deal feeder, SWWFS, or another school because its close to them.[/quote]

By the results, it would be silly for anyone to bother wasting a lottery spot trying for a Deal/Hardy feeder or SWWFS for 5th.

0 matches for 5th grade for any Deal/Hardy feeder school or SWWFS other than 4 spots at Eaton ES. Though plenty tried because there are anywhere from 20-50 waitlist spots for 5th at each school.[/quote]

Simply not true. There is always movement at *some* Hardy/Deal feeders in some grades, and younger siblings can pull in older siblings (I know several families where this happened in the past) and as you said, there were a number of
spots at Eaton last year, so some people do get in. as others said, there is literally no cost to adding these schools to your list, and you may just "win the lottery" and get a spot.

(My 2nd grader is #7 at H-A right now, dropping down from 17 on April 1st. If he gets in, he'll pull his brother to the top of the list)[/quote]
