Last year they only offered 10, the year before 5.

Are they growing the high school or experiencing more attrition?

I would like to know this as well. We attend and plan to enroll for HS.

They always expand at K.

7 last year, 34 year prior. Explanation more complex than "they always do".

Prepping for their oddly timed, not announced to families, less than 1.5 miles away second campus?

Doesn't look like it -

That school proposes to open with PK3, PK4 and K in 2018-19.

If you attend, then ask the school about the numbers and share with the rest of us ; )

Could someone explain how DC Bilingual has listed zero spots for PK4 and K? I don't understand. Could it just be incomplete data?

As described above for Breakthrough and SWW @ FS, some schools are very conservative in their projections (which are what Round 1 seats offered are).

Schools don't know how many students will leave until after the May 1 deadline, and on through the summer. So some schools, like DCB, make no seats available in the initial round and will go to its wait list as spots open.

They did the same thing in round 1 last year. And ultimately offered seats to 15 on the WL for PK4 and 39 for K.

CMI offered more seats in more grades than last couple of years.

Looks like they grew PK3 size. Quite a few seats offered in 5th. Are parents peeling off to Latin/BASIS?

PK3 did not expand in 17-18; 5th and 6th grades did.

PP - I meant PK3 did not expand by adding another class. It's possible 1 or 2 seats per class may have been added, but I don't know for sure.

How can SSMA have 60 slots for PK3? Are they planning on a huge growth or lot of attrition or what?

This year (16-17) they have 47 PK3 and 55 Pk4 students enrolled, so 60 is not that huge a jump.

And montessori is different by being mixed age, so I'm assuming unless they have six primary environments, their primary classes tilt towards the younger end.

But I mean what happens later do they expand upper level classrooms too?

Yes - they're still below their approved enrollment threshold.
