About half. Perhaps more will as DCI matures.
Yu Ying had 52 5th graders this year, and has 96 4th graders. The younger grades have about 70-75 each.
LAMB had 23 5th graders this year, and has 38 4th graders.

LAMB and YY are the smallest DCI feeders with the lowest percentage of students enrolling at DCI. They could disappear from the feeder pattern tomorrow and it would make very little difference to DCI.
You should quote the post you're referencing, because the word "sacrificing" isn't in the post before this one.
Much more importantly though, you're out of your mind if you think YY and LAMB taking themselves out of the DCI feeder system would make very little difference. Unless you also think test scores don't matter to DCI parents or parents considering DCI... because if you knew anything about the breakdown of how kids currently at DCI perform on standardized tests, you'd know it's the LAMB and YY students who average the highest scores, which means pulling out brings the overall average scores down. You think that makes little difference? I'd be very sad if you had to find out just how big a difference it would make, because I love the idea of DCI and the school it is so far.
With the MV influx in 17-18, the DCI test scores will continue to be meh.
What I meant is that DCI doesn't really need the LAMB and YY kids to make their finances work, and the parents are high maibtenance. The easiest way to get into DCI now from outside a feeder is to enter the Chinese lottery. This is because so many YY families bail before enrolling.
