As always, if you are troubled, confused or need guidance, I am happy to help. Together we’ll go over all your charter options. In-person. Phone.
At the top it says “All schools grades 6-8 unless otherwise noted.” That’s a typo, correct?
Hi Maura, good catch. That’s been updated to read K-5. It was a late night getting this all together for you folks. 😉
We’re number 80 on the wait list of our first choice charter school. I know if differs ever year, depending on number of applicants and demand, etc., but on average, how far up the waiting list do they usually go? Is there any hope to get a spot when you’re 80th on the list? Anyone have experiences they can share?
Is there anywhere we can check statistics of number of applicants on previous years on these schools? Thanks a lot!!
