And each class behind them gets larger by a couple hundred more. [/quote]

total size of classes is larger but if you follow single classes year to year you'll see a noticeable level of attrition within single grades for K-4.  This year's 5th is relatively stable from last year's 4th, but all lower grade levels see a decline of ~ 200-300 each year per cohort.[/quote]

That seems like that's overstating it.  It seems more like 100-200 each year.  This year's 5655 4th graders were 5819 3rd graders and 5990 2nd graders.

This year the number of 3rd graders is 600 more than it was last year.  There will be some attrition for sure, but the number of rising 5th graders for next lottery year will likely grow again by about 400 as it's done the past couple of years.[/quote]

not really

14/15 K = 7264, 15/16 1 = 7043 -221
14/15 1 = 7019, 15/16 2 = 6764 -255
14/15 2 = 6642, 15/16 3 = 6427 -215
14/15 3 = 5819, 15/16 4 = 5655 -164
14/15 4 = 5257, 15/16 5 = 5199 - 58[/quote]
