[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people are active in their church and move their kid to their parish school after elementary school.

Some apply out after 3rd to schools that start / have expansion in 4th.

I do not know anyone who had realistic expectations who got "shut-out"[/quote]

That's good to hear. I think our expectations are realistic although I don't want to send my kids to a religious school - will that eliminate a lot of the options?

I don't really care about getting into the "best" school, I just want a middle and high school option for my kids that is safe and academically challenging. [/quote]

One of the PPs here. Oh, you'll be fine then. There are a large number of private schools in our area and 9th grade is a big entry year. As long as you have realistic expectations, you'll find a spot for sure.[/quote]

Thank you! What about 6th grade? We don't really have a good middle school option either. In fact, I'd say I'm much more worried about middle school than I am high school, given that there are public magnet options for HS at least. [/quote]

Sixth grade is often an expansion year so it's a good time to apply.  It's going to be competitive but if you apply broadly and not just to the "Big 3", and your DC has good grades and doesn't have red flags in their file, you should get in somewhere.[/quote]
