Just reputable privates?


Code for families with $$$$ and kids that are not problematic additions


What's a problemmatic addition?


When someone says "code for ...." you can assume they don't know what they are talking about.

Some schools have said they'd leave an empty seat before admitting a student they felt could not manage the curriculum. And they can afford to do that. Similarly, they will add space for a student who is a good fit no matter when they apply. Usually these schools advertise having rolling admissions.

No, just kids who are a good fit who through no fault of their own had to move.

Which ones have open spots? We are coming for a family move and need one.

I know my kid’s class has a spot because one student recently decided not to reenroll (later than the usual deadline) due to a move.

May I ask what rationale you provided?

It means that your child has something that they felt was missing from that class.

I think the only way to know is to start calling and asking.
