I’m pretty sure they move as soon as someone from your elementary turns down a spot, even before the 13th.

Can’t speak for high school WL movement but I agree that there is a chance for movement for middle school as families apply to private schools for the 6th grade and they don’t find out results until March.

We have a low ish number but not sure if it’s low enough. In MS my kids always had crazy high numbers and my other HS had a number in the 70s.


Some do choose to do IB instead, so a decent chance.

Thanks. My DC got waitlisted but there is no waitlist number. Does APS normally let you know where you are on the waitlist?

Yes, everyone knows their waitlist number, but remember it’s the number from your school. Even the #1 at our elem didn’t get off the waitlist last year.


Does your waitlist number tells you your OVERALL placement...or your placement by school?


We still can’t see our waitlist number. I assume it will pop up eventually.


This is a ridiculous system where some people can see their wait list numbers and others can't.




I highly suspect that user error is at play. Log in and then SCROLL DOWN.


Nope. It’s not there. Can’t scroll beyond the bottom.


Different poster. I don’t see it either. I’ve checked on desktop and phone. Definitely not user error. At best it’s an APS error. But it seems suspect to me.

Your waitlist number is in your elementary school allocation.
