[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current Holton 3rd grade has 30 girls (in two classes) in it so it will 100% depend on what they decide to do for the 4th grade next year. If they decide to add a third class, they will add another 15ish girls. If they don't, they will admit almost zero because the class is full.

I have heard that they are leaning towards adding a third 4th grade class because their application number are astronomical this year for lower school. But TBD. [/quote]
What about 5th grade in Holton and NCS? [/quote]

I don’t know about 5th at NCS but Holton adds a third class in 5th grade and adds 12-15 girls. [/quote]

Would Holton only add another class in 5th if another class in 4th isn't added? Or is it possible there will be a total of 4 classes in 5th? [/quote]

I don’t think there would ever be 4 classes in 5th grade. There are currently two 4th grades and two 3rd grades. I think there will potentially be 3 4th grades and 3 5th grades next year. [/quote]

Thank you. We're also applying for 4th.[/quote]

It’s not so much of “what do they want to do” vs upper school class sizes. There’s a hard cap on student numbers bc of an agreement with the neighborhood. 9th is a big year for admits and it really shapes the class. The girls entering at that time are far more “known quantities” of achievement and success  rather than expanding rapidly in LS. I have 2 in US. my oldest’s class only has 5 added for 5th. My youngest’s class expanded from one classroom to two in 4th. It seems quite unpredictable and greatly dependent on upper school class numbers…all are around 90-100 .[/quote]
