[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can SSMA have 60 slots for PK3? Are they planning on a huge growth or lot of attrition or what?[/quote]

This year (16-17) they have 47 PK3 and 55 Pk4 students enrolled, so 60 is not that huge a jump.

But I mean what happens later do they expand upper level classrooms too?[/quote]

I can't find their enrollment ceiling/matrix, but the latest I found (from 18 months ago) had a very very very small cohort of 1st and 2nd graders (like 18-20 total)[/quote]

But my point is, the school building seems to small to house that many if the students continue through 5th grade. That would be 60 x 8 grades = 480 kids. [/quote]

There is a lot of attrition in Montessori, so I imagine they are planning on losing some for elementary. So if you have 3 primary classrooms you would likely have 2 elementary classrooms and one upper elementary classroom.  60 still seems huge though?  Do they have 6 peimary classrooms with a plan for 4 lower elementary classrooms and 3 upper elementary classrooms.  Maybe they are hoping to frontload so there will be no backfilling?[/quote]
