JKLM-Some point they have to take OOB again?

I just heard 90 of 96 Lafayette's current 5th graders plan to go to Deal next year.

There are 2 out of boundary kids in my child's pre-k class at Mann so it is possible.

Did they get in with sibling preference?

Interesting, that was about the same % at my DC's highly rated ES in McLean. About 75 started and 75 ended, but only about half (maybe less) were there from beginning to end.

Your statistic also doesn't take into consideration the number of children who arrived at the school after kindergarten and then subsequently enroll at Deal. Mobility is a two-way street.

I'm the PP. Just to be clear, I'm not saying 75 started and 75 finished, but half of them turned over. I'm saying 75 started and 30+ finished. Yes there was turnover, but it didn't make up for the attrition.

There are far more kids per grade in the younger grades than in the older grades. There are two reasons for this. One is the school is growing. Five years go there were 2.5 sections of kindergarten, now there are four. But it's also been true as long as I've been at the school (nine years) that kids start bailing for private, suburbs or charter at third grade, and aren't replaced.

I'm guessing that your child doesn't attend a Deal feeder school.
