[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that October WL data is out, I am heartened to see that people do get into some HRCS later.  Not the highest of the high, but plenty of respectable schools.  Does anyone know why this is?[/quote]

It's easier to get into the better DCPS's in the higher grades, too.  Partly it's attrition to privates, and otherwise moving to MoCo or FFX.

Free PS/PK is a big draw for a lot of families.  The school may not be worth pursuing long term, but it's better than paying for daycare.  However once you're in K, and making friends in 1st & 2nd, you'll start to get the trickle down from testing grades.  [b]DC is a small town with high expectations and most schools don't make the cut.[/b][/quote]

This. I know a family that opened up several spots at a HRCS this year when they left for private.  They felt the school was no longer meeting their kids' needs academically, and wanted to be somewhere where the middle school path was more of a sure thing.[/quote]
