Odds more than a dozen current kids move/ new kids withdraw their spot?

Last year we were over 100, so this seems low, but remind me to let this GO!

How does the HS waitlist work now with the new transfer policy? Is it by middle school or is the HS list county wide?

5 people at your child’s school need to turn it down first before you would get in.


Does this happen? Does anyone on the waitlist get in at all?

How long do people have to make their decision?


I would say your odds are low personally. I would also look at how many slots your school have. If there are only 2 slots... then the 2 kids who were offered spots must both decline, the next two #1 and #2 on WL must decline, the next two after them #3 and #4 need to decline which will bring up slots 5 and eventually 6. not good odds.


Not good odds. A couple of years ago, the #1 kid on the waitlist at our elem school got in because 1 kid turned down his slot. That's as far as it went.

Things sometimes move more a year or two later if a kid decides to leave HB, but now there's a brand new waitlist every year so your original wait list # is irrelevant.

Why does my 6th grader show up twice?

One entry says “cancelled” and the other has a wait list #. Was his application drawn and then somebody cancelled it?

My 9th grader only has a waitlist #; 1 entry.


Same for my 6th grader. It's weird.

Same. I was shocked. Don’t know what we’re gong to do.

The 6th grade list is definitely is by elementary. But is that true for the 7th or 8th grade waitlist?

Oof. Waitlist number 126 for a spot in 7th grade at HB. Didn’t know it could be that high!
