[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's up with 12 seats offered at Shepherd for 2nd grade?  Every previous year, they've offered about 7.  Curious about the jump in seats offered.[/quote]

Perhaps they had to create a new class? [b]Was the 1st grade larger than normal this year?[/b]

Why don't you check the grade by grade Shepherd enrollment data https://osse.dc.gov/enrollment

PP here.  I checked, and it's not.[/quote]

I think it has to do with the fact that a few years ago they had to bump two grades (kids who are now in second and first grades) up to three classes instead of two classes per grade. (It’s a long story as to why.) But the current first grade (55 kids?) is slightly smaller than the current second grade (58?). plus I know the current second grade has picked up at least 3-5 new kids just in recent months. But even if all 55 first graders moved up — and there was no attrition— accepting 12 more means each of the three  class is around 22-23 kids. Which is what our current second grade class there is now anyway.  I promise you it’s not because of some mass abandonment of kids after first grade.[/quote]
