[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are more local DMV kids graduating a private K-8 at 8th grade than openings for private 9th grade. Simple math says some people likely will get shut out from private in 9th. So apply widely. [/quote] It all works out. All of the kids in DC's class had excellent outcomes and multiple options that also included top public magnets. My guidance would be to apply to 5-7, unless you are fine with your public option. In that case, you can apply to your top choice and see what happens. I also recommend that families of 7th graders start attending open houses this year so that the 8th grade year is less hectic. Especially visit schools you might not know as well. It will save time next year. [/quote]
