[b]Historically, there is very little attrition after 5th grade[/b], but I believe they are expanding the grade size a little bit this summer.  There may be more attrition than usual because of the move, but I'm not aware of families planning on leaving.  If you plan on applying (worth doing!), you should turn in your application as soon as it will be accepted.  Acceptance is based on a lottery, but they take names off the waiting list according to the order in which the applications were received.  [/quote]

You mean little attrition between 5th and 6th?  True, there is almost none, but there is some between 6th and 7th, more between 7th and 8th and LOTS between 8th and 9th, although more middle-class families are staying for HS with every passing year.  We're in 6th.  If Latin's MS offered honors classes, particularly in English, and more advanced math, we would be more likely to stay through 8th.  From where we sit, teachers have to spend too much time and energy helping struggling learners.  We're considering moving on to a suburban school or privates between 6th and 7th.  We won't be missed.
