^want to add that my friend's kids attended elite boarding schools after St. Pat's and we may do the same for high school.

My dd is accepted at pk2 and we just Lund out that her class size is 16. I was very surprised as I thought they were going to be 12. Not sure what that means for us now

StP's is an excellent school, but the class sizes have gotten too big. Despite what the PP says, there absolutely are classes with 22 kids. I have no knowledge as to whether this is to mitigate decreased enrollment in the upper grades or if the school is expanding.

I am not sure where this thread got off track..two kids at st pats..one child had a class of 14 and another 18 or 19..can't remember exactly. I don't know of any class at 22. I do know that the publics have huge classes with 30 kids..so we continue to pay for private

They need to STOP admitting new student when a class is bigger than 18 kids. It is starting to infuriate lots of parents. I don't care how many applicants have to be denied, classes in K - 6 should have no more than 18 students. Grades 7 and 8 should have no more than 30 per grade. The best aspect of their 7 & 8 program is the small classes on a separate campus. I think it may be time for these schools to limit applications when there s no space in a class.

That's why we chose NPS over St. Pat's. St. Pat's classes are about the same size as classes at most public schools. Enrollment at NPS is higher than ever.

We chose a public immersion language charter over St Pat's and have never had more than 18 kids in a classroom with 2 teachers for preK and k. Makes me happy that we saved the money.

Well you both probably made a mistake. Academically St Pats is the best PK-6/8 program out there. Did you see where their graduating classes were admitted for middle/high school. It just gets better every ear. Very few grades have classes above 18 students. There is one, maybe two, but hopefully that will be corrected after this past year's applications ( in and out).

Monolingual is the new stupid, you know?

Langley's K classes are 18 kids each. My DS had 16 in K last year so that's big for Langley.

Rather than enrollment being down, there seems to be slightly more turnover in students coming and going. Some of it seems sports related, but the rest, I don't know why.
