I actually submitted a FOIA request to CPS, requesting only the number of KG applicants (broken down by tier) for a list of 30+ schools. CPS missed the deadline, but when they followed up, they assured me that the were working on complying with the request. After several promises to provide the information, CPS ignored it. If I had unlimited resources, and did not care about getting on CPS's bad side, I would have sued for the information.

I think it's outrageous that CPS will not reveal this information. We are permitted to apply to 20 lottery schools, but CPS won't disclose how many applicants there are for those schools?
