Here are some more details about Glenview: It had four kindergarten classes in 2007-08, just three in 2008-09, and will have four again this year, according to district staff.

To the person asking about Glenview. I know they added a kindergarten class and took a bunch of people off the wait list early on.

You’re right. Although Kaiser initially admitted only ONE out-of-neighborhood child without an older sibling to its incoming kindergarten class, it has since been able to take about 12 transfers, according to the Options office.

Those seats have opened up as families who were initially admitted into the school have chosen to enroll their kids elsewhere.

And none of the 4 kids I know from outside the Kaiser neighborhood are Hillcrest redirects. Could you find out what the breakdown is for Kaiser neighborhood kids versus Hillcrest redirect kids versus other kids in the 48 admitted and the 46 enrolled?

It would be very helpful for my school to know, since we are continuing to lose (non-PI) kids to Kaiser, which doesn’t seem like it should be possible, based on the Options process on the OUSD website. I don’t fault individual families, but if there’s a loophole, it would help my school to close it up!

Thanks for any more information you can get.

I know Kaiser took redirected students from the Hillcrest area. Could that be the case?

I’m particularly curious about the Kaiser numbers. I know of at least 4 kids who are not neighborhood kids or siblings of current students who have been admitted to Kaiser for kindergarten in the fall. Are they included in the 48/46 (which doesn’t sound right), or are they in addition to the 48/46 (which doesn’t sound right either)? How many kindergarten classrooms are there at each of the schools? Thanks again for the stats — they’re very interesting.

Do you have the numbers for Glenview? Last I heard, we were opening another class. I’m curious what the numbers are.

I understood that all neighborhood children and younger siblings were admitted to Crocker in March.
