[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But why wait until 8th grade to “take advantage” of the sibling preference? Our older child is at a Big 3 and we’re going to apply for the younger sibling at the next entry year. Definitely not waiting until 9th grade admissions.[/quote]
So, you don’t like your current school. Got it. [/quote]
More like, our current school ends before 8th grade so why wouldn't we apply to the sibling's school instead of looking for a new school?[/quote]
So you have to apply for either a k-8 or a k-12? If you aren’t in a k-8, of course you need to apply before 8th. How is this relevant to those in a k-8?[/quote]
Just because the situations aren't exactly the same, doesn't make them irrelevant to each other.

Let's take Sidwell for example. They expand at 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 9th. If you have an older sibling there already, setting aside the logistical benefits on having both kids at one school, whether the younger sibling is at a PK/K-8, PK/K-6, etc. the potential considerations are similar.

Do you want the younger sibling to spend 8/9 years at the first school then 4 at Sidwell? Or is 6/7 and 6 preferable so that you have a more even split between the two schools? Or 4/5 and 8 to maximize time with the older sibling? Someone at a PK/K-8 could choose any one of these options and it would be justifiable IMO.[/quote]
