[quote=carli]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.[/quote%5D
carli, it is not uncommon for ANY HS to have to turn away +/- 200 students (zone/inter-district transfer hopefuls) regardless of whether the “turnaway procedure” is by lottery or lack of space for out-of-area students.
Due to the fact that CCA has +/- 2000 students and that there is no other requirement for admission except for entering the lottery (no auditions, etc required), it should have been the County’s top scoring HS on my list, dumping Eastlake as #12. I apologize for the omission :=]
