[quote=Anonymous]Claremont parent here.  Prior to the 2011-2012 school year there were four kindergarten classes.  There was a waitlist that year (note: all priority area children were accepted - it was the secondary region that had a wait list and most, if not all, of those children ultimately go in to Claremont).

Starting in 2011-2012 there were six kindergarten classes and no wait list.  There was also a fifth 1st grade class that year to allow for additional new first grade students at the school.  There have been six K classes since then, with each grade above adding 1-2 classes to accommodate the "surge."

Claremont (and Key, and ATS - and all choice county schools) are being forced to expand enrollment as overall county enrollment increases.

Please note that Key and Claremont draw from different areas of the county (Claremont was actually started due to the overwhelming demand when Key was the only immersion option in the county).

We love Claremont and it has been an excellent fit for our children and for our family.  [/quote]
