[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#4 for 1st grade OOB. Crossing my fingers![/quote]

4 our of 5 K classes this year had 26 students.
There's no way they'll admit OOB for first grade unless a ton of kids leave over the summer. 
It's the biggest grade the school has ever had.  [/quote]

Nope not even close and I would know because my oldest was in the largest class Janney has had in the last decade which just graduated and peaked at 137 IIRC.[/quote]

No, you’re wrong.  The class that just graduated had 113 kids and is the largest class they’ve ever had graduate . I had a kid in this class.  The current K class has 129.
Call the schoo office, count the yearbook photos or look in the directory for verification. [/quote]

I've got kids in both classes you are referring to - the graduating class peaked at 137 students and IIRC had 130 students in Kindergarten.  Not sure what I am wrong about - someone stated that this years K class is the largest ever at Janney and that is not true.[/quote]

Here are the numbers for the most recent graduating class based on the directory:

K 123
1 135
2 136
3 123
4 119
5 113

This past years kindergarten class had 126 (again based on the directory)

So the classes are very similar in size and the directory numbers are usually a bit low because the directory comes out in November I think and usually the school adds a few kids as the year goes on.

I just tried to look this up and could not find it so someone more DCPS savvy than I can post the link but my recollection is that there were far more in-bound kids waitlisted for pre-K 6 years ago than 2 years ago - my re-collection is about 60 kids were on the pre-K WL in 2012 and just 20 in 2017.  We were shocked at the size of this years K class based on that but there were a lot of K kids whose addresses weren't listed in the directory so it would not surprise me to learn DCPS made a call to increase the OOB kids in this years K class - really curious if the 2 Georgetown kids will be back next year and if there are others that were snuck in because of Hyde's renovation.[/quote]

Did anyone have the balls to report the GT kids?   Everyone talks a good game about over crowding ...[/quote]
