Around 10 per cent of Isle of Wight parents have missed out on a place at one their preferred secondary schools.
Although, the Isle of Wight Council says it is possible some of those applicants only put down one preferred option.
More than 90 per cent of parents got a place at one of their preferred schools, with most families securing a spot at their first choice.
12 per cent of applicants will attend their second or third pick.
Children up and down the country are finding out which secondary schools they will attend for the 2021/22 academic year.
The Isle of Wight Council says every one of its 1,307 applicants (received on time) was offered a place at a school.
Of those, 984 (79 per cent) received their first choice for September, 123 (ten per cent) their second choice and 25 (two per cent) their third choice.
Councillor Paul Brading, Cabinet member for children's services, education and skills, said:
"I'm really pleased to see that the vast majority of applicants gained a place at one of their preferred schools, with most getting their first choice.
"We know starting secondary school can be an anxious time for families, and we do all we can to make the application process as straightforward as possible while meeting families' choices in the vast majority of cases."
