[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The good private schools don't have that many openings in 6th grade. Where do all the Key students enroll?[/quote]

They bail after third and fourth. An extra year of tuition is worth getting a seat.

They also bail for charters after fourth, both Latin and Basis -- which take more Hardy feeder kids than Hardy does -- start at fifth.[/quote]

So there are significant number of privates that have fourth and fifth grade openings?

I'm not impressed with the charters. The test scores are the same as most low-performing non-charter DC publics EOTP. [/quote]

Most schools have "admission years" where they add another class and take a bunch of kids. Usually it's for fourth or fifth grade and then again at high school. In non-admission years they only take students to replace the ones who have left. So it's much easier to get in at an admission year. [/quote]

I had heard 6th grade is an admission year st many D.C. privates.  At which schools  is that not true?[/quote]
