Thanks @Kat! That’s helpful info. Good to know that things are moving and will continue to do so. Disappointing that we can’t watch the waitlists move this summer, although I know that wouldn’t change anything, even my obsessive checking!! Best of luck.

Waitlists haven’t moved on portal since 5/16. CPS caregivers who have done this in previous years-have they usually updated by 3 weeks from the start of school? Logging in daily in hopes of seeing some last minute shifts. TY!

Hello! Has anyone received offers from Alcott, Inter-american or Tubman for Kinder? If so, would you mind sharing your WL number? Curious to see where we might be given our WL haven’t moved since mid-May despite getting offers. Thanks!

Thanks for that update! It’s helpful to hear specific numbers as the summer goes on. I’m wondering if others feel like waitlists this year are moving similarly or more or less than years past…I feel like #56 for Lasalle is high regardless if it’s tier or proximity.

Thanks for your reply! We also got an offer last week but the waitlists have remained the same since mid-May. OAE stated they should be updating but they haven’t been for me. Hopefully this changes soon. Good luck!

Congrats LSM! Thanks for all of your insight and posts over the last few months. They have been super helpful. Best of luck at Drummond!

Hi LSM-

Thanks for this info-super helpful. Was your experience last year that most schools were updated pretty regularly after a certain point? I would be excited at this point to see just one number move to know it’s possible!

[CB202]

Do you know who is responsible for the updating at this point in the game-is it OAE or the schools themselves?

Hi Kindermama-

Our WL numbers haven’t moved at all on GoCPS since 5/16 despite getting offers. I keep wondering when they will update and and now am wondering if they will update at all!!

[CB202]

Would anyone be able to confirm that open enrollment schools (such as Prescott, Brentano, etc) do not have tiers associated with their general waitlist? I believe I heard somewhere that tiers only apply to magnet, magnet cluster and SE schools. Trying to determine WL number viability and a tiered number as opposed to a straight up number would feel very different. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have experience on how much the Alcott waitlist moves for K?

I see that it moved quite a bit in 2019 due to have 3 K classes but that was unusual. 2 K classes slated for this Fall.

We are waitlisted in the high 20’s and wondering our chances.

Thanks in advance.

Hi LSM,

Yes, this is super helpful. Sounds like we are in a similar place as you were last year with some schools. Can I ask you if you were on the proximity or general wait list? I don’t think we are within 1.5 miles of either Disney or Lasalle or Alcott…etc and wondering if our number means they will go through the proximity wait list first (if I understand this all correctly). TIA for any thoughts.

[CB202]

Thanks Daddo for your response. We look forward to learning more about Disney and the other schools should they be options. Learning this morning that the WL numbers are in tiers?…which is different than I originally understood it (thought our number was the number overall). This is our first time around so learning as we go…

 

[CB202]

Forgot to add–this is for Kindergarten.

Hello!

Like many other caregivers this morning, we are trying to get a better understanding of what WL numbers may mean. Thanks in advance for any feedback on the likelihood of the following. Did not include high WL numbers.

Lasalle 2- 24

Disney Magnet-34

Tubman-20

Alcott-36
