[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like more YY kids are tracking to DCI.

The trend is clear.  There will be no seats available to non-feeder kids in 1-2 years in any track.  In 2 years, the class coming in from Stokes is the expansion class so there will be no more French either which is the only track with non-preference this year.

As PP said above, DCI has a very high retention rate and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.  In fact, I predict that rate will increase.[/quote]

DCI retention rate is &gt; 90%[/quote]

Because the choice for most feeder families is DCI or move/private. People take feeder school seats, and others backfill open upper elementary seats, to escape Brookland Middle or MacFarland. And as housing prices continue to rise, many more families will be scrambling for a seat that enables them to stay in their current EOTP house. Families in expansion grades that are banking on attrition "guaranteeing" them a DCI seat seem oblivious to this phenomenon. [/quote]
