View last year’s application numbers

Create an account and log in to review last year’s application and open seats numbers to estimate the likelihood of an offer from a particular school. Typically, a school’s entry grade—like PK/KG for elementary schools, 6th grade for middle/middle-high schools, and 9th Grade for High Schools—offers the most seats, but there are limited seats available at non-entry grades as well. You can find last year’s application numbers when selecting schools for your RSCO School Choice application.
