Wow!


Seriously.

Ouch. I do notice a lessened interest in CMI in our area. It is no longer passing the "would I drive far for this" test.


MV8 is very nearby and took tons of kids for each of these grades.


That shouldn't have any bearing on how many people applied to CMI. Again, look at ITS, Lee and Cap City who still had similar # of applicants.

You attribute what to that?


Shorter waitlists at Seaton and CMI.

Brent offered 5 seats for grades 4 and 5. I didn't see any other higher-scoring schools that offered seats for those grades.

Stuart-Hobson 162/97/53 (no seats made available)

These were all longer waitlists than Brookland or Wells (called New North in the data) and only Eliot-Hine's was shorter than MacFarland's.

I'm hopeful this bodes well for more people attending Eastern in the next 5-10 years.



So 126 people applied to Jefferson for 6th and didn't get a higher match
and 162 people applied to Stuart-Hobson for 6th and didn't get a higher match

I'm surprised how similar these numbers are and how different they are from the 39 who applied to Eliot-Hine and weren't matched somewhere higher.


Jefferson's metro access is so great, that probably has a lot to do with it.

While it's getting harder to get a seat at Stuart-Hobson OOB, there are still options to get into its feeders. JO Wilson offered 46 seats in grades K-5 (its waitlists for grades 1 and 2 are particularly short), and Ludlow-Taylor offered 23 seats in K-5. Watkins offered 3. So that's 72 kids who now have a right to SH.

In previous years, Watkins waitlist tends to move a lot once the registration deadline passes. Peabody and SH, not so much.

If you want Montessori, Nalle's waitlist is short (no more than 3 kids in any grade). Langdon's is a bit longer, but still worth a post-lottery application (and there's no K waitlist at all)

If you want dual language and are English-dominant, Houston's PK3 waitlist is 11 kids, PK4 is 7 kids, and there is no waitlist for K or 1.

Not sure if that link was bad, it didn't work for me. Here is another try:

If you need a seat and are OK with Montessori, Shining Stars and Lee EE will clear initial waitlists.
