[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like MV8 had 70 spots and only goes through 1st grade, so fewer grades for sibling preferences. Anyone think they’ll get through WL#20? [/quote]

Its hard to know. About half of those 70 are siblings, but it’s still a good shot. [/quote]

How do we know that half are siblings?[/quote]

Yeah what PP said re: siblings doesn’t make much sense. MV8 had 80 PK3 lottery seats in its inaugural year. This year it’s down to 70, which, unless the school has shrunk the size of its PK3 classes, suggests that 10 seats have gone to siblings, and the remaining 70 are available for everyone else. [/quote]

Schools don’t reserve sibling seats, they still have to enter the lottery.  If available seats are 70, that number includes those with sibling preference.  [/quote]

I’m not sure that’s true. It doesn’t explain why, for instance, schools that have 80-100 PK3 students only list 15-20 “available lottery seats” each year. Where did those 60+ seats go? Someone is filling them, and it’s not rising PK2 kids because that’s not a thing. [/quote]

Can you show an example?[/quote]

Yes, I already did. Look at MV8. Or any other school for that matter. [/quote]
