[quote=Anonymous]Dr. B here - Principal at Hearst. I don't frequent this blog, but I got a tip that there may be some confusion about lottery spots, and I want to clarify. Hearst is fully committed to keeping class sizes small (around 20). Open spots for next year are directly related to the up-coming class and how many students are currently enrolled. Of course, we do have to project and make some educated guessing around IB students showing up, who is moving, etc... It's not perfect, but we've done a good job thus far keeping class sizes very small by DCPS standards (and really even private school standards) at about 20. Current 3rd grade did have a few students move out of the country, which opened up a few spots for 4th grade. It is a fine balance between ensuring class sizes are small and also ensuring we don't let enrollment drop below projections, which can impact funding. We are excited about all of the exciting new programming for next year (PK-5 Spanish, Full-Time Music/Peformance Arts teacher, additional reading and math supports and so much more)! If you have specific questions, I'm always happy to address them. Our next Open House is April 25th. That's a great place to learn more and ask questions. [/quote]
