What is the story with schools such as this? I am researching areas in Delray and Boca and keep coming across certain schools like this that I believe are public, yet require application and acceptance to attend. How difficult is it to be accepted in such a school. What could an elementary school actually look for in an applicant? or is it strictly just a numbers thing?

I believe they do it by lottery.

It's a lottery thing. In addition, the older your child is, the harder it will be for him/her to get in. Sometimes there are other things that will affect the placement, e.g. another sibling already attending the school.

I applied to have my daughter accepted for when she started 2nd grade, but no dice. I knew it was a long shot anyway but remained hopeful. Fortunately I lucked out and she tested in for PBC's gifted program.

Also, their application window has already closed for the 2009-2010 school year.
