Brevard lottery school chances (Satellite Beach: vehicle registration, insurance, house)

[leavingNJ732]

Hi everyone,
What are the chances of getting into one of the lottery schools? I have a 10-year-old and we are planning to move to Brevard next year. We would have time to apply for West Shore school, but I'm trying to find out if getting in there is a long shot, or if most kids who apply get in. If you apply for 7th and don't get in, can you try again in later years?
Are there any areas to look at that would be convenient to Westshore, but have other good public middle/high schools that would be a good backup plan?
Thank you

Satellite Beach and Viera areas. In Satellite Beach, DeLaura for middle then you'd go to Satellite High. Not sure the middle schools in Viera because some students get bused depending on what area you choose to live, but Viera High is good. If I am not mistaken they are building a new middle school for the Viera area. Sorry, I am not familiar with the Westshore Lottery system or policies.

Look into the charter schools, also . Odyssey and Pineapple both get good grades.

Do the charters have a lottery system too?

Do you have to live in one of the beachside areas to go to Satellite? We are looking to be more inland.
