– The odds of choicing in are based on space/availability and, I think, order of application. So if you apply to a very popular school (like LJHS) your odds are worse than if you apply to a less popular, but still decent school (pt loma high school for example).
– The charter schools seem to be semi-easy to get in. I have friends sending their kids to Muir and they said it was easy…
I’m not sure – but my friend may have applied to Benchley both as choice and as magnet. I know she got in under the “choice” avenue.
It’s an odds game – if you apply to more than one school, you have better odds. My kids go to Curie – and a LOT of their classmates live outside of the neighborhood. Fine by me – shows they have active/involved parents who took the time to work the system.
