[quote=Anonymous]Parishioners and sibling priority make it a crapshoot. You never know when you’re walking into a cohort where 90% of spots will go to parish families that have to have older siblings, especially multiple older siblings. At our school there seem to be alternating years of impossible admits vs undersubscribed grades, maybe based on how people have spaced their kids out. We do see families accept one-off spots in a non-intake year for their older kids in the hopes of eventually getting a K kid off the waitlist, so if you have multiple kids and are willing to play the long game after getting shut out, that’s always an option. The school seems to be willing to go 1-2 over headcount if it means getting a boy in a small, girl heavy older grade (or vice versa). We have instructional aides so there is a little room to flex class sizes but it’s not advertised.[/quote]
