Applications in Recent Years
According to the official figures, Emanuel-Lasker-Schule was oversubscribed in 2026/27. The years cannot be compared with each other at Gemeinschaftsschulen: Berlin counts the transfers out of a school's own primary years differently each school year, once among the applications, once among the places. A comparison with other schools in the same year holds, a trend over time does not. Most recently, in 2026/27, there were 119 first-choice applications for 104 places. That is a demand ratio of 114 percent.
