Out of the 138 New York City charter schools currently enrolling students for 2011-2012, 118 (85%)
responded to the NYC Charter School Center’s survey about their lottery application rates. Based on
survey data, the Charter Center estimates that New York City charter schools received a total of114,932 applications for 12,917 new seats. Discounting for families who apply to more than one school,
this represents an estimated 64,390 applicants for 12,917 seats—creating a citywide charter school
“waiting list” of an estimated 51,473.
Approximately five applicants are competing for each charter school seat.
