My two kids went to a Charter School that followed the multiple sibling rule. If the school did not do it that way, I would not have tried to get my older son into the school as I would not have wanted to take a chance that my kids would be in different schools if my younger son did not get in.

Which the OP would find quite satisfactory as it would give her child a better chance of getting in.

This is why they do it. Families want all of their kids in the same school.
People need to quit thinking about this as individual children applying and think of it as families applying. Yes, some families have more kids than others but that's the choice of the individual family.
Bottom line is that you have to look at the "issue". Forget it that you have no children, 1 chlid, or six. Does the law in any way deny equal entry into a school that funded with tax payers monies. Forget about the personal issues, look at it objectively. Laws are challenged by the fact of precedent cases that stand on all fours when it comes to a challenge.

What is it, exactly, that you want from us?
No one here is, I assume, on the admissions committe of the school in question, so all we can do is offer our opinions. You don't like what people are saying, and I understand that, but arguing with us isn't going to accomplish anything.

Who is arguing? I am just putting this information out as "information". Many people do not know about this, so I feel it is important to share. It is just like any other thread. I have nothing else to say.

Ah, I see. Well, it certainly sounds argumentative. My mistake, then.

Yes, however, if parents with two kids or more do not try to get into charter schools, then those schools could possibly not get enough families that are interested, and the school could close eventually.
I know in our case, we were interested in the charter school, but I probably would not have enrolled my older child if I knew there was a good chance that my younger child might not end up at the same school.
I still fail to see how the first child in ANY family has less of a chance to get into this school than the first child of another family
