[quote=bearishgurl]Thank you, carli. CCA sounds like an innovative school with a performing arts slant. Due to the extra workload (extra credits over a “mainstream” HS?), it may not be the right school for every student.

How many students will it hold and what are the chances of a students being selected for it from the lottery?[/quote]

You’re welcome, BG. I don’t know CCA’s exact enrollment figure, but I believe it’s just under 2000 students. I’m not sure what the odds are of students being selected via the lottery (by the way, the lottery is purely based on chance), but the rumor is that this school year, 200 students had to be turned away, which is far more than in past years. Again, this figure is not official, just what was discussed among parents. I don’t have time right now, but maybe later I’ll see if any of this info can be confirmed on the district website at http://www.sduhsd.net.
