It's at the principal's discretion.  The "move OOB and then try your luck in the lottery" policy is posted on Oyster's website, as well as near the door in the front office.  If someone wants to try that strategy, they should just be prepared for the consequences.  It may work out, but it may not.  If it doesn't work, make sure you have a back-up school ready...or the means to move back IB.    [/quote]

It would be fool hardy to think you could lottery back in. But has anyone been forced to do that? No one can give an example it seems.[/quote]

No hard info or examples, but based on what I have heard about the dynamics of the school, it would depend on when you moved.  If your kid was in early elementary, say up to 2nd or 3rd grade, they might not let you stay because they are full to the gills up to then.  But if you moved in say 5th-6th, when a lot of neighborhood kids are peeling off for Deal, you probably have a greater chance of being able to stay.  Again, that's based on intuition, not any specific information.[/quote]
