Garrison has historically offered 3-15 seats in the lottery for Kindergarten. They've also had a waitlist ranging from 7-33 kids. However, they've offered a seat to almost all those kids every year, and almost all those waitlist offers happened by June.

This year - they offered zero spots. That kinda made sense to me, the school's been growing in popularity, and kindergarten is somewhat unpredictable since they have to take everyone IB. But the June waitlist data shows zero K offers. And it's not just that they're behind in paperwork or something - all the other grades at Garrison have had some waitlist movement this year.

Anyone have any insight into this? Are they closing a K classroom or something? We were kinda banking on a K seat there based on the historical data. [/quote]

It is my understanding that the school switched three classroom model a couple years ago to account for what had historically been a drop-off in enrollment in the later grades but now that more families are choosing to stay at Garrison long-term, they had to go back to a two classroom model for K moving forward. So there are about 20-25 fewer seats for the upcoming school year.[/quote]
