[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ludlow-Taylor waitlists didn't move at all, with the exception of PK and a single October offer for 4th grade. Recalling people saying that's related to ongoing construction?

Meanwhile, Brent made 3x the number of offers it did last year. Bussing to Columbia Heights definitely not appealing to people. [/quote]

Yes regarding L-T. Construction that was supposed to be done before school started in August was not even up out of the ground at that point. They now claim it will be done before kids are back in the building after winter break. I remain skeptical. Glad they didn't overextend with offers in this environment. Next year will likely be a different story once the school can spread out into the new space (though don't expect them to suddenly add a ton of seats, I just think there will be more cushion on the margins).

Not surprised about Brent though we don't know any Brent families who left this year. I am betting they just burned through waitlists when offers were made and they had to clearly disclose the swing space situation. I recall we were in a similar boat with an offer to CHML when they were renovating and it was the same thing -- we were one of many families who turned it down because we didn't want to commit to busing our then-3 yo kid across town daily.[/quote]
