[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. Are there many DCPS elementary schools that don’t have attrition at 4th and especially 5th grade for private or charters? It’s pretty much the norm to varying degrees even at “JLKM” schools. It’s more notable when there isn’t flux at 4th/5th.

Hyde had no lottery seats available for matching on results day, and barely any waitlist spots offered by October for 4th and 5th this year, so if parents are pulling kids for private in large numbers it’s not apparent and the school isn’t clamoring to fill those seats (likely resulting in smaller class sizes). I was actually going to tell OP that they probably wouldn’t get a 3rd grade OOB seat as the lottery cools a lot after 2nd grade, but then I reread and noticed they are IB.

Hyde has 70% of families OOB and many of us are motivated enough to make long commutes to get our kids there and home each day. I’ve found that to be a strength and indicates a lot families are not complacent to just use an elementary school as free education til they finally decide to pay for private. We come to Hyde because we are willing to make sacrifices for a great public school. How lucky OP is that such a great school is in her neighborhood? [/quote]
