[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friendship Chamberlain no waitlist for PK3-1st. Surprises me for ECE; pretty decent location for Hill/just across the the river folks commuting in.

JOW basically no WL for K-2.

Also, I am confused by why Watkins doesn't appear on the list, because they initially didn't even fill their seats. Can they pull them back if that happens with a plan to downsize?[/quote]

I don't know about Watkins, could be.

JOW likely due to the renovation?

Friendship Chamberlain is a great PK option, I encourage anyone without a solid plan to check it out.[/quote]

Yeah, JOW picked an unfortunate time to be just pre-construction. I think interest there is going to skyrocket post-construction, but they're really going to have to do some rebuilding first. They're going to end up with a ton of empty seats.[/quote]

When would have been a good time? The point (made by others) is that families in K-2 will likely never get the benefit of the reno and will have to deal with swing space, so why go? That would have been the case regardless of when they did the reno.[/quote]

I think they were otherwise well positioned to benefit in the short term from the collapse of 2R.[/quote]

If you think TR's decline is a recent event you haven't been paying attention.[/quote]

I am at a neighboring school and this year seems to be by the biggest effect yet. [/quote]

Your impressions are not "facts". The number of kids fleeing TR schools and the falling demand is not new this year. The world was round before you noticed it, too.[/quote]

Wow, your a peach. I didn’t say it was new this year. I do, however, know that for our school it has had the biggest effect yet this year. I think the effect would take a little while to trickle down to JOW, so I suspect this would have been the first year they’d really stand to benefit. Next year even more.[/quote]
