If you look at the enrollment data year over year, you will see that typically the Janney class starts to decline by a few after 3rd grade.
The drop from 4th to 5th is 5-6 students a year.   These are a combination of going to privates,  charters, family moves.

class size 105 for 4th became 99 for 5th
class size 119 for 4th became 113 for 5th

It just seems like it’s impossible to draw any real conclusions from this.

First, if you assume they are all returning students then 94% return. That seems good to me but you also don’t know how that compares to other schools.

But second, and much bigger issue, you have no idea what the waterfall looks like. It’s also possible 50 students left and 50 entirely new students moved in. Unlikely, but absent that info it’s impossible to conclude how many students left.

Third, you don’t know the reason for leaving or how it’s distributed. DC is transient and people leave the state frequently for posts to other countries etc. It may be that it has a higher propensity for this than the average in other states.

Basically you don’t have anywhere near enough info to draw any conclusion at all here. [/quote]
