This also makes a lot of sense to avoid having kids come in at the higher grades who don't have any Spanish experience, which is a drag on the class and teachers. Based on the current 5th grade MV P street seems this happened, last year they had about 60 students.

That may have been the word, but that wasn't the reality.
MVP offered 15 seats for 4th grade and 4 for fifth grade in the initial lottery run and 5 4th grade seats in the equitable access run
MV8 numbers are lower, offered 2 4th grade seats on lottery day and 5 equitable access seats. None for 5th grade

I would guess they were trying to fill out their classes - even with some planned attrition. Last year, the cohort that had 4 classes in 3rd grade went on to have 3 classes in 4th grade.
