Child Chances of getting into charter school from waiting list?
What are you experience with Charter School lottery system? Did you child get from Lottery? If yes, did they get in the same year?
My daughter is 2nd on the waitlist for a charter school for 7th grade. I guess I am trying to figure out what are her chances of getting in this year. Thanks for any information.  |

Is she on the list for this year or next year? When my kids were at a charter school, I know that you had more of a chance of securing a spot if you were willing to switch schools during the year. So if they were to call you tomorrow, you'd say yes, and not want to wait until Sept.
It can't hurt to call the school and see what's going on. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

If you were #2 on the waiting list for next year at the charter school my kids went to, you have a very good chance of being called over the summer to start in Sept. You would have a 100% probability of being called during the period of Sept-Dec. to fill a vacant slot.
Their school was the South Shore Charter School in Norwell, a k-12 school in the suburbs, which probably has a different admissions flow than an urban 7-12 school, for example.
Good luck and I hope it all works out for you!

Oh, that's funny! My kids loved their years at that school. It is a very friendly, accepting place.
Extra good luck to you!
