[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SH made 0 WL offers. That's amazing.[/quote]

Great trend for SH, but I know a couple low WL# families that may not get a spot if this holds.  [/quote]

We'll see. The only made 3 waitlist offers for 6th by June last year, and then no more after that. As IB numbers have gone up, they are having to be more cautious.

However, they also offered 10 fewer lottery spots this year than last. So there's still hope, they may just be waiting until they know for sure what feeder families are doing before offering any spots. And feeder families tend to keep their cards close to their chest because it's so complicated for kids this age.

If their number is bigger than 10, though, I wouldn't hold my breath. And everyone should have a solid back up plan.[/quote]

Principal Fraser seemed taken aback by the number of families who showed up to the admitted students night last night. Said it was by far their most ever. That they could easily fill 50% of the 6th grade with kids who showed up for a last minute Taco Tuesday seems like a great sign for the school. [/quote]

The challenge is how to maintain that momentum for this class and future classes and get the same energy and buy-in going into 9th at Eastern.[/quote]

I think that will be considerably more challenging. But also, a solution through middle school is enough for me right now, and I've been pleasantly impressed by our exposure to SH so far. (We have a rising 6th grader headed their next year.) We'll figure out HS when we get there. Worst case, we figure out how to pay for private.[/quote]
