[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few privates have admission years at 6th grade. The two charters that appeal to WOTP families, Latin and Basis, do almost all of their admissions in fifth grade. So at my WOTP school (a Hardy feeder) there is a steady bleed starting at third grade. The fifth grade is about 30% of the size of the kindergarten. Parents have to make a decision about middle school in third or fourth grade, which means making a prediction about where Hardy is going to be 2-3 years out. So far few families have been willing to gamble on that.[/quote] Sidwell Friends has an entry point at the 6th grade, along with 5th.[/quote] ^^ that's correct. PP's statement is patently untrue. First of all, there are no "admissions" at Latin or Basis -- it's enrollment to all comers based on sib/lottery. Plenty of private schools admit students at any grade, including 6th.[/quote]
