Not going to happen. |
No. You're not the only one. My kid doesn't know anyone. We're just making sure he attends the summer orientation / bridge. |
Pending means that your child got in and you are pending enrollment paperwork. If you want to enroll I would contact the school. |
We are in the same situation as PP. |
Since Walls doesn't have a feeder middle school, it isn't uncommon for kids to not know anyone. It is a clean slate for everyone. |
Definitely not. My kid is moving from a charter school to JR and is worried that everyone from Deal will already know each other and it will be hard to make friends in such a big environment. I'm less worried--DC is friendly and outgoing--and I'm trying to assuage their fears. |
As a kid from deal we definitely don’t all know each other cause the school is so big and everyone is so different. I’m sure many people would be excited to make a new friend so you should tell ur kid that. |
Thank you! I appreciate the comment, kid from Deal! |
Knowing people doesn't mean being friends with them, or even wanting to be. I'm sure there will be some kids very happy to have your DC as a new friend. |
In case anyone missed it, data is now posted on the total number of applicants for each school. Some highlights:
SWW: 1,527 applicants (181 matched; 132 waitlisted) Banneker: 1,291 applicants (245 matched; 1 waitlisted) McKinley: 1,271 applicants (247 matched; 1 waitlisted) |
Oooh, where is it? |
Ooh I am loving this. So we have it for all schools and can calculate a percentage of applicants that matched, which gives a clue as to how people are ranking. Fascinating. |
So, basically, McKinley Tech has just under the percentage of students admitted that Banneker does. Both are right around 20% admitted. Both are hard to get into. |
And that's if you're not rated "ineligible"-- and that can happen to kids with great stats. |
