MV isn't my favorite, but I commend them for being this transparent with future families!

It would be hard for a 3rd or 5th grader to enter into a dual language school that late in the game; unless the students came from a previous dual language school.
I thought they weren't allowed to restrict entry to certain years unless that was part of their charter.
It's part of their charter, it looks a lot like Yu Ying's. After a few years, a student without the language background just can't catch up. However, according to the law, charters aren't allowed to test in, based on language ability. Would it make sense to let in a student with the skills? Yes, but they can't sort by ability, so they'd have to let in anybody. Then that child would likely fail and it would be a sad situation for everyone. It's an unfortunate waste, but that's the way it is.

They aren't. I'm just assuming this is their reason not to enroll at that level: hence not having available seats.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I know of two currently enrolled kids whose siblings sat out PK3 this year (boys with late birthdays) and will be starting in PK4 in the fall. Not a good admissions year for PK4 this time around.

1. Does anyone know what MV is likely to do next year/number of PK classes - and if they're dropping to 4 classes, what's the logic behind that? Are they going to have a 1 year bottleneck?
2. And what does the answer to #1 do to the likely number of non-sibling spots available in the PK classes for this coming fall? We're looking at PK4, but I suspect PK3 people are also interested in the answer.
Thanks!
Last year was unusual with the 6 PK classes. 4 will be the standard going forward. Because there are 6 PK classes now, each with around 7 PK3 students, that equates to 42 PK4 kids next year. Each PK class has around 14 PK4 kids, so 56 slots next year. Therefore you'd be looking at around 14 open PK4 slots. A few will probably be vacated by normal attrition (moving, etc), and a few will probably be filled by siblings of newly admitted students in the upper grades. So probably around 10-15 open slots for PK4.

Wait, why am I being laughed at? I did a search and didn't find any postings from the previous few months on point. And last year I gather that, with the addition of new classes, the PK4 wait list moved close to 100. Seems like a valid question for this year.
