| Can anyone tell me the typical entry point into middle school at these schools? Often they list a range for middle school, like 5-8 or 6-8 but it isn't so clear which years in those ranges are expansion years when they consider more outside applicants. Clearly, one could always apply for a non-expansion year... |

| 7th is biggest year for STA, then 6th. Very few at 8th. |

I don't think this is accurate. I believe that 6th is the entry point, with about 15 spaces, while 7th and 8th add very few if any. |

| Perhaps calling the schools' admissions offices would provide better information than this forum offers. |

| GDS more in 6th than in 7th, but really both are entries, my DD entered in 7th. However, none of the entries are big, where GDS really expands is in the US, with about 40 new students |
