I just got my first charter school lottery results from Wissahickon Charter. My son’s name was selected randomly as number 131 out of 165 applicants. Seats were offered only to the first 22 names drawn (the rest of the seats were offered to younger siblings of current students). So that is a rejection and more or less a zero chance of a spot opening up and being offered to us at that high number. Disappointing. But at least that will be one less school to have to consider. bleh.
I feel like this is the issue with all of these schools. There are so few spots and so many people wanted them
P.S. I am sorry you didn't get in, we were really upset
Thanks for the sentiments Matthew. By the way, I forgot to mention–that picture is not my kid. The original is worth a look, if only to see what I cropped out.
I'm sorry he did not get in. Hopefully he will have better luck with the other lotteries coming up.
Just curious-how did you find out about Wissahickon-I'm still waiting to hear about the kindergarten lottery.
Thanks.
No big secret, I just called.
I was afraid to call and waited for the letter, which came today. Number 59. Might as well be 131. Sigh.
Yeah, I got my official postcard yesterday as well. Sorry to hear that you didn't make it.
