PP here - I know more Deal kids who are bailing for private than 5th graders.
We are actually keeping our 5th grader for Deal next year (didn't apply anywhere private) but moving the younger sibling to private because our school has so botched DL that we have no confidence in the fall. Older kid is doing great. Younger kid is a mess.
