Son got waitlist for his choice HS. Category 4. Does that mean they go through all Category 1, 2 and 3 waitlist students before they get to him?
-
Which school did your son get waitlisted for? For SEHS, there is no waitlist number, but there typically is for Non Selective (Choice) schools. The Choice waitlists are per Tier for the first several rounds of selections and therefore does not require the other Tiers to be exhausted before getting to yours. CPS has some helpful videos at https://go.cps.edu/high-school/selection

Anyone can tell me why, in recent years, Payton starts to attract more high scorers than Northside? Is there anything changed dramatically? Looking through the cutoff scores, Payton beats Northside in all 4 tiers and rank which was not seen several years ago. Anyone has insights?

What is the impact of an IEP on admission to a selective enrollment high school? We are Tier 4.
-
IEPs are put into their own separate pile, a “shadow tier 5”. They are then ranked and rated by score. Each school must admit a certain percentage of IEP students. I believe it’s 5% of the class.
My son was admitted to his first choice, Young, with a 814 (IEP).

My son did not get accepted into his choice and selective enrollment HS , rather he got accepted to 2 schools that we’re not on the top of his list. What happens is we don’t accept either of the schools. Is there still chance for him to apply to other HS on the 2nd round?
-
Most selective enrollment schools won’t have spots for 2nd round–neither will many of the more popular programs. I would see if you can determine whether they went to the 2nd round last year as an indicator.
If you don’t accept either of the schools, you can either apply second round and accept what you are offered there, or attend your neighborhood school.
Assuming he was admitted to a program for which he applied, I would accept one.
-
Hi Celi,
Your son can apply via principal’s discretion. The administrator posted the link with the guidelines and also provided the number of spots available at each school. Your son should definitely try to go that route.
Best of luck!

Good morning
what/where is the link?
