Adams' Spreadsheet

Dr. Adams Dudley, a Peabody Elementary School parent, developed this tool to help him in his own kindergarten search, and he has offered to share it with everyone. Adams' Spreadsheet was a helpful tool to ensure you've struck a balance based on the number of requests per seat. Dr. Dudley has worked very hard to include all the SF public elementary schools in this spreadsheet. It currently does not include middle or high school data.

Adams' Spreadsheet includes:

Data from the 2009-10 Enrollment Demand Comparison (45kb,pdf) table.
Additional columns to help in prioritizing schools, such as the location and start time.
A calculator function that allows you to list seven possibilities and check your odds of getting one of them, based on 2009-10 enrollment demand data, as reported by the Educational Placement Office.

Disclaimer: This tool will not predict with 100% accuracy your enrollment outcome.

There are other factors that may ultimately influence your assignment that are not included in Adams' Spreadsheet, such as:

Attendance area school preference
CTIP Preference
Your child's home language (if you are applying to a language program)
