ITS waiting until August to make any waitlist offers probably caused some of this.


And it feels shady / manipulative.


Or at least irresponsible. And not very nice.

they aren't even close to having some of the "worst scores" in the city. Its actually diverse and the PTA is a fundraising machine on par with a WoTP school, beautiful grounds and facilities. yes there are issues but the parents I know there love it and we keep trying to get in.


For a school of predominantly non-economically disadvantaged students, even when you factor in the SN students, their scores are very low.

I don't see what you see. If that is the case the Aug WL offers would be significantly higher than June's. Other than PK3 (5 offers in June and 13 in Aug), I don't see a huge difference in their offers.


I believe those numbers are from early August. My number for ITS K dropped over 60 spots from August 1 to October 5.

October is supposed to have the highest amount of offers. Many families will not move after school starts so it takes a lot to fill one spot.

I think you mean yuppies. I’m all for equity, but I want more creativity for their mind. Or a green world.

A couple always do. But which JKLMs make offers to the OOB on their WL shifts around from year to year.

PP here - should have read the instructions before posting. Looks like they are cumulative, so in this case, the school made 2 waitlist offers, right?

Is there a way to know how many took an offer in Oct.? bruce Monroe offered 26 to english dominant kids in June, July and Oct it looks like. I can assure you the most did not take it, certainly not in Oct.
