[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most base it on historical yield however the smaller the school the tighter the window. I work in a vey small school so if we have 5 seats we can reasonably accommodate, we only accept 5 and wait for replies. Our wait list is real. High schools are much more fluid and will always over-accept and make accommodations in later years (not accept sophomore transfers, etc) if more accept than expected. [/quote] This is what my kids' school does too. Class size for younger grades is about 20-25, but the school cannot risk over-enrollment due to zoning and fire code restrictions. So the school admits just the exact number in the class and waitlists the rest. The school puts lots of pressure on admitted parents to decide quickly, so they can advise the waitlist group on status as soon as possible.[/quote]
