+1. Let your kid get settled into their first month of 8th grade, then you can start freaking out.
They're trying to drag this out as long as possible because of the backlash when they announce the lottery is here to stay...
There is not, and has never been, a lottery for the selective high school programs (RMIB, Blair SMCS, Blair CAP, Regional IB programs, Wheaton BioMed, Wheaton Engineering, Poolesville, etc.)
OP is talking about school choice, not selective schools.
