7:15: our PTA advised that this year the cmte did take school placement into consideration; iow, schools with lower numbers had a lower threshold in comparison to schools with more in the pool candidates. So, yes, perhaps renting in a low end district and then xfering your dc to your actual home base is the way to go.
It is not an "admissions" in the sense of "getting into a private school" If your scores are high enough, they will let you in if you make a fuss. They love to put the smart kids in Gen Ed to raise the schools overall scores if they think htey can get away with it.
When a similar summary was done in a previous year, the list was eventually updated with whether each child was found eligible. So that way parents could see where eligibility cutoffs were or at least what trends might be.
01:19: You know that the AAP admissions process is not competitive. Each child is evaluated on their own merits. You are not competing against anyone else in the county. Or at a cluster, or school, or neighborhood.
My DD goes to one of the overcrowded schools, but if someone qualified appealed, the school would not matter. If it did, people would find the easiest school, rent there, then move back to Haycock or Louise Archer. But admissions are the same throughout the county.
Below is the list of the WISC scores posted on this thread so far. Someone had done this last year, and it had helped other parents. My DC's scores are #4 on the list. Please update the missing info and add new scores to this list.
