[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at HB and my other kid has now been waitlisted twice. I'm also a very active school volunteer, friendly with Board members and APS senior staff, etc, etc. I find this wait-listing [i]very[/i] surprising! (Or....maybe.....there is no conspiracy.....)[/quote]

I don’t think anyone ever said every HB sibling gets in.  I’m sure most current HB families follow the rules and just send their other kids to neighborhood schools if they are waitlisted for HB. I do think, however, there is the occasional family who doesn’t play by the rules and figures out a way to get their child (sibling or not) in if they are not selected by lottery.   I have heard of at least one family with multiple children there (not twins). Odds are just too small that one family would have 3+ kids get in (maybe that rumor isn’t actually true, though?) ?   Sadly, it just takes one family to do this to make people doubt the system...    With less than a 10 percent chance of selection, statistically speaking, there should be very few siblings at HB (outside of twins)...   I’m assuming that is actually the case?[/quote]
