Which applicants are given preference in the lottery or on school choice wait lists?
-
Preference is given to a student with a selected school if:
-
the student resides within the District boundary,
-
the parent wants the student to continue at their same school they are attending (particularly for Goodnight School fifth-grade students),
-
the parent wants the student to move (or move back) to their “neighborhood school,”
-
the student has a sibling enrolled in the selected school or program,
-
the parent wants the student to remain at his current school for kindergarten,
-
the parent is applying for a student to attend an IB school and lives less than 1.5 miles from that school,
-
the parent wants their child to return to a D60 school who currently attends school outside the District, or
-
the student has a sibling applying to the same or program.
If one or more of the above items pertain to a school selection for your child, the selection will receive addition preference weighting for the lottery and for wait list ranking.
