Parents and students were on pins and needles as one of the most sought after charter schools in Philadelphia wass holding an admissions lottery. It was a packed auditorium of parents at the Mast Community Charter School. More than 8000 applicants are vying for 99 spots for the school, grades k-12. 75 of the spots are for kindergarten students alone, and siblings of existing students get first pick. As the names were put up on screen there was elation for those who were accepted. Mastâ€™s unique learning style has driven their popularity over the years. The school emphasizes technology coding and legal robotics. Mast has been granted a second lottery, and will have 400 more spots for grades k thru 3rd next month. This school has a focus on mathematics and science like no other which is why their waiting list has quadrupled over the last five years and why there are 82 applicants for every open spot.

Officials say officers responded to an incident on the 600 block of North Godfrey Street where the officer was injured.
