[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very curious which 4 preschools these are... if you're at a SS boys' school for K, I would guess Brick & Episcopal first 2?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7 kids from WSMS and 6 kids from PCDS to Brearley? So 25% of Brearley incoming K (50, right?) is from these 2 schools? Something sounds off.[/quote]

I can confirm the six from PCDS. You don’t have to trust me, but I know the kids.

Brearley incoming is 50-55 spots I think.[/quote]

It's not that unusual.  In my son's K class, 12 kids (24%) of 50 came from two preschools.  Then there were two other preschools that each sent 3-4 - so 19 kids of 50 (38%) were from four preschools.  The school upped their "diversity of preschools" by then taking only 1-2 kids/school for the remaining 31 spots.[/quote][/quote]

My guess would be 92NY and WSMS[/quote]

Agreed, this sounds like Episcopal & Brick. 92NY lags on SS boy and WSMS is in a completely different category.[/quote]

Why WSMS in different category?[/quote]

In general, WSMS' TT emissions is like this: about 10+T (3-5 new families), 6-9 D ( about half of them r new families), 2-3 HM (usually all new families), 4-6 Collegiate (usually 2-4 new families), 5-9 Brearley (usually 2-4 new families). But of course WSMS  sends about 3-5 families to Chapin and Spence but these two schools are less popular than Brearley among WSMS parents. As you know, this year's K admission was a bloodbath, but WSMS still did pretty well with the new head. k-8 boy schools such as St.B are usually less popular among WSMS families. WSMS has a very good relationship with St. B.. The only k-8 boy school is kind of popular among WSMS parents. Pretty much no families applied to Buckley's this year. The only issue is that many families at WSMS only wanna get into T, D, Collegiate, B and HM (less popular than the other 4). The teachers and staff at WSMS are AMAZING and down to earth. The families are NOT flashy at all and very diverse. There are quiet a bit families whose kids choose to go to public K as well. Usually, 1-2 kids get into Hunter each year.  Hope this helps.
