[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the *** does Montessori need another school? Both of our dual language programs are way over capacity (and now even more so, thanks school moves.) If there's anything that APS needs option-school wise, it's another elementary immersion program. [/quote]

They shrunk both immersion programs to 96 K students this year. There were 8 Spanish speakers waitlisted at Key and none at Claremont. Claremont had a 91 person waitlist for English speakers and 33 at Key[/quote]

Enrollment across APS was down this year.  I'm sure a lot of people didn't want to start their kids in an immersion program during a distance learning year.  Some people also delayed enrolling their 5 year olds in kindergarten and are waiting for in-person next year.[/quote]

20-21 still offered 140 slot for K and only 121 (Key) and 128 (Claremont) are currently enrolled. That's actually pretty consistent with the last few years enrollment. This year they cut the numbers because both schools are overcrowded and need to be cut down. In past years every kid who wants a spot ended up being offered off the waitlist because a lot of people apply as a backup to another preferred school or just because. This year people might actually end up being shut out because of the smaller number of kindergartens offered and the larger than usual incoming K class. [/quote]

Anyone know what the 1st grade waitlist looks like at Key and Claremont? I suspect it's larger than usual too.[/quote]

For 1st grade, 0 seats open for English speakers at Claremont, 26 waitlisted. 4 Spanish speakers in lottery all got offers.

2 open seats for English speakers at key, 24 waitlisted. 8 Spanish speakers in lottery all got offers

How do you know all of this? Are these numbers posted somewhere?[/quote]
