I also think this past year‘s kindergarten entry was much larger due to families delaying enrollment as a result of the pandemic and virtual learning in public schools. I expect some of that to adjust back to more normal levels.

All the Alexandria Catholic K-8 schools? Don’t most always have a wait list?!


St. Mary’s and St. Louis do, yes.


our FCPS school is still losing kids to both in non-entry years.

I think our school in the Arlington Diocese had fewer applications this year, but didn’t lose many current students to public.

Yes. Our school went from 2 second grade classes this year to 1 3rd grade for next year. Many are heading back to public from parents I’ve talked to.

I think there are less applications compared to last year, but more overall interest than, say, 2018.

Curious if anyone has knows if there were less applications to parochial schools this year? My kid’s schools had an extensive waitlist the past two years, but I saw an advertisement for having kindergarten openings. I understand each school may be different, but is there a general consensus of interest for the coming year?
