[quote=Anonymous]Years ago, at my private 1-12 elsewhere, there was a huge positive change at their usual “expansion year” around 8th/9th grade. A bunch of kids were privately counseled out in September of the prior year, some for poor academics and others for poor behavior. The new kids who filled their vacancies and expanded the total class size were a vast improvement. At the time, we were oblivious that the problematic kids were being counseled out (which is entirely appropriate; schools ought not discuss student A with anyone other than their parents). So it is also possible that problematic kids in a cohort will get counseled out by a school. No guarantees, but it can happen. The opposite also can happen, where the new arrivals turn a good cohort into a bad cohort. I also have watched that happen.[/quote]
