Not really. The TT schools don't really expand their 9th grade classes much so they generally take 10-20 new students while the non-TT take 40-60 new kids. One school we briefly looked at doesn't expand at all in 9th so new spaces are based entirely on attrition. I'm assuming that everyone applying has good ISEE scores/grades and decent extracurriculars.

Why do the hills school not work for you? If it’s distance, I’d think a 9th grader could commute alone. Is it something else?

Trinity adds 60-70 kids HM adds 40-45 kids in 9th.

I don't think Trinity is the right environment for my kid so we're not applying. The Hill schools don't work for us either. Dalton takes about 20 kids. We're applying to another school that takes about 10.

I don't think Friends or Trevor take a lot. Grace is about 90 in a grade with more than half new. I know kids at all three and there are almost no "new kids vs. old kids" issues.

If your kid is a boy, check out Browning? We aren’t there but all our prior touch points with the school were positive and it seemed like a nice environment.

Browning takes very few boys in 9th. They take more in 6th. They are actually expanding their high school but are doing it by expanding the 6th grade class
