| At top privates in DC? |
| Some schools might accept students to fill slots left by departing students. The only way to know is to ask. |
| Not at top ones. |
| Yes, call admissions |
| Maybe at K-8s. Might be very difficult at top privates. If not, a lot of people would try to game the system to avoid the very competitive 9th grade admission process. |
| There are some K-8 schools now with space in 7th. Call around. |
| It happens if someone leaves they will look to fill the spot. |
