Also, if you look at the feeders especially YY, their current class sizes in 3, 4, 5th grades are much much smaller than their lower grades.   MV does not yet have a third grade or higher.   So when DCI first opens, [b]there will be many more spaces open to new students if DCI chooses to make those spaces available which they may or may not do.[/b]  DCI probably won't achieve full capacity from it's feeders until 4-5 yrs from now.[/quote]

Why would you think they would open with excess capacity? It makes more sense to grow the class sizes as the size of the feeder pool grows.  You're not going to open with capacity for 600 students if you expect your incoming class to have 90. There might be some of what you describe, but I wouldn't count on a lot of it.

Only guessing b/c of funding for the new school and the fact that there is a huge class size difference between the upper and lower grades at YY:  The current grades 3-5 ~ 100 kids vs preK - 2nd ~ 300 kids.  Also, YY had the jumbo 1st grade to pay for their new building.   Only speculating, no evidence, guessing....  Don't shoot me  :lol: [/quote]
