Holton took A LOT of girls last year for the 4th grade class. my guess is that there were only a few spots for 5th this year.

They took two that were "exceptional cases". No real spots available. Almost 100% sure they won't got WL. Look to next year..

I was also told this and that there would only be spots available if attrition, so knew it was an extremely long shot. Luckily NCS came through

Yes. And people who left due to Jobs and are retuning to DC. Diplomats. Children and grandchildren of board members.

LOL I'm thinking the same thing because right now my daughter is hurt. We will get over it and I'm somewhat relieved that I don't have to pay tuition ?.
It's a great school and we really wanted to attend for middle school.
