[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the DC PCSB site and the re-enrollment rate across both campuses is 89-90%. for MV[/quote]

So why are they offering so many seats?[/quote]

All other years they didn't offer seats at K-5, but offered many through waitlists. They likely better predicted what would be available based on past years. When the Lottery occurs, the schools have NO INFO on attrition. For the Cook campus offering 90 seats this past year -- the only year this happened -- this more likely shows opening a new classroom. MV Cook has 600+ students.

The point here is that people are saying there's so much attrition but the actual numbers don't bear that out.

I know a family whose younger child did NOT get into Calle8 at PK3. This also does not show increased attrition.

It just seems like MV is the punching bag right now, probably because a few families aren't happy, and takeover all these threads. It's OK to not like a school and leave. Don't have to bring it down.[/quote]

MV is the punching bag right now. People here like to imagine that MV is failing. They can think whatever makes them feel better.  [/quote]

Feel better about what? Since MV clears wait lists now, literally every single poster here has the ability to enroll at kindergarten or later if they want. I know SO many people that had a negative experience there that I feel bad for the pre-K families that are still getting sucked in by the school’s PR. I worry for those families, worry for what it means for the future of DCI, and am angry and frustrated that the school chose to expand when the results would be so predicable. I would LOVE for the school to turn around, but have a hard time not lumping it in with how CMI was a few years ago.[/quote]
