Reply to comment by brownredgreen in NYC: Success Academy Buys New Properties While Planning to Charge Rent to NYC Public Schools by barweis

So if 7th grade there are 100 kids and attrition is 10% then it’s 90 kids in 8th grade, 81 in 9th, 72 in 10th, 65 in 11th and 59 kids in 12th?

It’s probably the latter

You're not thinking about this smartly

Each year, 10% attrition from all grades

They also have transfer students? So if the 100 became 90 (due to 10 getting booted) next year, the class could become 95 as new kids join.

Think harder.

You’re approaching this from a position hate, be open minded, do you think class sizes half 7 through 12?

My graduating class in 12th was definitely smaller (like by 200+) than the 9th grade class. I dont know exact numbers.

You are also ignoring my broader points:

They kick some kids out of every grade, AND, they can add new kids to a grade at years start. Students transfer.

Your not trying.

I can play your game too. First off it’s, “you’re”. Secondly 200 means nothing giving your class could be 201 or 3000. Each class of graduates advancing would be treated independently given an entering class unaltered from a previous year would displace a graduating class. We can debate but if you’re being mean spirited just go join the George santos re-election committee
