Maserson said:Difficult to answer but if your school choice is one that is not filled, aka one of the newer schools, it's much more likely.
Beacon Park elementary had this happen early on. Cadence park same thing right now.
Didn't stonegate elementary have something similar until it filled up and they had to kick out the woodbury kids?

Once they?re enrolled, they get priority in the following years over new applicants.
snabigail said:Thanks all for your replies! I did call IUSD, they said it's a 50/50 chance, depending on the school. My child goes to Springbrook (but our homeschool is Eastshore), so we're scheduled to go to Lakeside. We were hoping to get into South Lake, as all her friends from Springbrook are attending that school. I know it's pretty competitive from K-6 (Stonegate, etc.), but wondered how competitive it is to get into middle schools around here.

It's elementary school...let your kids have fun.

it's 2 hours of kumon a day and 1 hour of violin, so my kid can be top of the class... and get into a top college.
