| We're in the high 20s on the WL for Hearst for K. Is this even worth getting excited about? |

| I do not think you will get called. |

| No, there is an increase in IB families attending the school, and also families moving into the boundary in order to attend the school, so I do not think the list will move. |

| Agreed. Classes will be crowded. Chances of pulling people off the waitlist are very close to zero. |

| Even OOB with sibling seem like they are not getting in, so I would not count on it at all. |

| The school is already at capacity in the early grades with IB families. |

What do you mean by "crowded?" If the K classes hit a tipping point (27-28?) the principal may open another section of K and then the waitlist might get tapped to fill up that new class that only has 14-16 kids. |

| Where exactly would they put this "other section of K" you are talking about? |

| Been there, with a little bit of a better #, for K and 1. Not a freaking peep. |

| Sorry OP, it does not seems likely. |

They could use the Spanish room. But this scenario seems very unlikely. |

| They could decide in the future not to have PK4, but even that only opens up two classrooms. |

| Current and future IB parents have spoken with principal privately about keeping class sizes small. Have received assurances on that and only 2 classes per grade. Not going to overcrowd Hearst with OOB students who come from under enrolled schools. |

It is good to hear that future parents have also reached out to the principal. Very glad to hear this. |

Does this include not allowing in OOB with sibling students above 20 in K? what does "small" class size mean in terms of numbers? |
