[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd guess the "165% increase" is the result of a data error -- that the SY15-16 waitlist for 5th grade was actually much higher than the 423 reported at the link. Compare it with 4th, 5th, and 6th for SY16-17 and with 4th and 6th for SY15-16: It looks like an anomaly. [/quote] I don't know if statements like this are denial or wishful thinking or what. I'd sure hope there isn't a data error - they had a month to clean it up! There are now addtl data available for this year's lottery at My Schools DC. For the past two years, you had a low-mid 80s chance of getting your top two choices for 5th grade; this year, you had a 56% chance. With only three years to look at and with two looking very similar, you can't know if this was a particularly bad year for the 5th grade lottery or a harbinger of things to come.[/quote]
