No they don’t

Yes they do. Lamb does not backfill after K and Stokes only has 1 Spanish class per grade. MV has 60 kids per year going to DCI while the other two schools have 20-30 students going.

No MV doesn’t have a much bigger share than other feeders. MV, DCB, YY all have numbers in the 50’s. Stokes total mid 30’s and LAMB 30’s.

Stokes is smaller school. LAMB not backfilling is not the reason why they have less seats (backfill seats are minimal at the other schools) but because a larger number of families don’t choose to go the DCI route. LAMB also loses families in the upper grades with the Montessori model which tends to not work as well for some kids.

Once the kids are at DCI, some will stay and some will leave, so you really can’t form a direct correlation of number of students coming in and graduating onto the high school. Even if there is no fluidity in some ideal world, with total numbers above, MV doesn’t have anywhere near the number of seats to account for them dominating the high GPA spots.

Lamb had around 20 kids in this graduating class and not all of them went to dci. Where are these fantasy numbers coming from? Maybe next year they will reach 30.

Wow that is alot of attrition at LAMB if 5th grade this year only has 20 kids graduating.

No it is just a small school. Next years 5th graders will be the first bubble class. Numbers go up from there. But sure there is attrition at play too.

Has MV8 improved at all from where the issues stemmed at the start of this thread?

Yes, MV hit bottom with a clusterf*ck of pandemic, going union right before pandemic (and many organizing staff leaving), leadership, and staffing issues. Much better now.

This school sure does have a TON of leadership positions that seem filled.
