You may want to check the latest CRCT scores. Based on these scores Garrison is the top scoring school in Chatham County with the lion's share of their students scoring in the exceeds area.
I propose a solution. The solution is that those who not only "pass" the audition but excel the audition are automatically accepted without lottery. This will prevent students who score a 100 on the audition being placed in a lottery with students who made an 80 on the audition. This is a performing arts school and competition should be based on artistic performance.
Out of curiosity I checked the CRCT scores for Garrison and Oglethorpe.
Garrison 100% met or exceeded with the lion's share exceeding in reading and ELA, 98.1% in math
Oglethorpe 99.3% met or exceeded in reading, 98.6% met or exceeded in ELA and 93.9 met or exceeded in math
The issue is not academic as much as performance in art. The question is whether a child that is excellent in an art form should be put in a lottery with a child that is average. It is a performing arts school. Should they select the top number in each discipline and do away with lottery?
