[quote=Anonymous]Another McLean parent here. I agree with the pp who said that McLean has openings if your child is the right fit. They won't change their requirements in order to increase enrollment. The prior pp was wrong about the number of classes too. Yes, there is one class of students in grades K-2. There are 3 homerooms in grades 3 and 3 homerooms in grade 4 (34 kids and 37 kids, respectively -- I just checked the directory). We have not been at the school long but it is my understanding that the numbers increase starting in grade 3 due to the fact that kids may be counseled out of other privates or parents realizing public isn't a good fit. I have also heard that grade 6 is a big entry year (current grade 6 has 52 kids). As has been explained by many on other threads, the upper school is about 10 years old and is small. Some kids leave after middle school because they want a bigger school. The kids who stay for upper school like the small close-knit class. [/quote]
