Points for entering public and concertada schools

In case you were wondering, here's the official point system that Catalunya uses for assigning spots at public schools:

First score these:	Points
The student has siblings that already attend the school or the parent works at the school	40
If the school is very near where the parent lives	30
or if the school is very near where the parent works	20
or the parent lives in the same municipality	10
When a parent is on welfare (renda mínima d'inserció).	10
When the student (or father, mother, guardian, a brother or sister) has a disability grade >= 33%	10

Only in the case of a tie, score these:	Points
Being part of a large family or being a single parent	15
Having a chronic or serious illness (including celiac)	10
The student’s parents or siblings are alumni of the school (new for this year)	5

One other thing to keep in mind is that many schools are required to reserve spots for immigrants (both foreign and local), so sometimes showing up in the middle of the year can work in your favor.
