[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People: the last posting is full of errors. Please get info. directly from the feeder schools only. There will only be about 20 lottery slots each year, as the feeder schools will be providing the vast majority of the students. Immersion education is still a focus, so students will take courses in another language for at least 25% of the time. If DC Bilingual is included at a later date, then those students would fill what would have been available lottery slots, meaning no lottery students at all, only feeder school students. no new students will be allowed after 9th grade. There is a lot more detail that was provided at the YY parent meeting, but right now that info. is for those parents in the 3 highest grades at YY. You'll have to ask EWS, LAMB, and MV leadership for details if you attend those schools.[/quote]

Dont know how it is full of errors since it directly from the portal butthole.  From the YY Portal
 SY2015-15 New Students not matriculating from YY, EWS, Lamb, or MV

6th grade new students 18
7th grade 16

SY2015-16
6th grade 20 new students, 7th-22, 8th=20

SY2016-17  
6th =10, 7th=21, 8th=22, 9th=23

SY2017-18
6th=0, 7th=19, 8th=27, 9th=26, 10=21

SY2018-19
6th=0, 7th=13, 8th=27, 9th=32, 10th=24, 11th=19

SY20-21  (SY 19-20 was skipped, so this could be a typo on the web)
6th=0, 7th=13, 8th=25, 9th=34, 10=29, 11th=22, 12th=18

It appears that the school will accept new students all the way into the 12th grade according to the information provided by the school.  Of course these numbers are all speculative as everything will be determined on how many students actually choose to stay all the way through graduation.

Butthole was correct in one regard, the first class is a total of 145 students and the 85 student count is the total for sixth graders.

And I poo-poo on your suggestion that the school is immersion.  Which of the three languages will the teachers instruct the algebra, geometry, civics, etc class.  For the other posters, there appears to be two time slots for language acquisition.  The student can take classes in their elementary school language and an additional language course.  Of course, butthole is correct, for non-anonymous information you should consult with the respective schools.  Of course, I don't know how this helps those who do not currently have children in any of the respective schools.

FWIW, I am simply trying to provide information.  Afterall, it is from this board that I learned about YY and Stokes when making choices for my child.  I am glad for those who were willing to share.
