[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^really?!?!!! Have you seen Swanson?!!! Talk about run-down and smelly.  It makes the current HB look like m-fuckin' Trump palace.

I blame the County, I blame the school board, and the sheer number of pairs of siblings in the last 4 years I know personally who both "won" the lottery--I cannot buy with the sheer number of kids that applied in those zones those families just keep getting the golden ticket--I also place blame at HB.  I hope these families start playing Powerball. Christ.[/quote]

Btw--the ones I know weren't wait-listed.  All the siblings got the immediate acceptance.[/quote]

[b]One year 23 of 45 new admissions were siblings.[/b]

I have no idea how many of the 75 current lottery are siblings.  If you only have 3-7 spots in your zone and they really are saving sibling preference--it could mean the entire lottery for your zone has been reduced to 1-2 spots (or even none) which of course is illegal and against stayed APS policy on admission.[/quote]

Where can this information be found?

HB admits twins and other multiples as a unit (as one lottery spot) but otherwise there is no sibling preference.  Why on earth do people think the administration would lie about that?[/quote]

Because of the odds of getting one of the very small spots 2-3 times in 3-4 years and the sheer # of non-twin siblings.[/quote]
