Depends on the grade and the schools’ traditional entry years. If it is an entry year, the school will have a detailed timeline on their website. If it isn’t an entry year, you might need to contact the school to express interest and ask about the process.
This is a great year to get into privates. Our private has lost a lot of kids and seems to be admitting them on a rolling basis even though school started. FWIW, we are at a competitive NYC private that is normally very difficult to get in.
Join the parents league, reach out to any and all schools of interest (application process is all remote this year so its ok to not know the drill) and know that this past year my kids private had a much higher turnover rate than I have seen in ten years so this is likely a good year to apply. Also things have been highly volatile so I think a lot of families who stayed in this year might change next year so think about playing a long game; people could withdraw right up to the last minute as things start to change. I have heard a LOT more parents grousing about how remote is not worth the $54K tuition and thinking about leaving than ever before.
DC is at a competitive NYC private. No one left her grade this year (2 left last year because of family moves). However, her school is in person for K-4 and hybrid for 5-12. I wonder if the privates that went all remote will have more spots then the ones that are doing primarily in person.
Applications are open now for all schools. Start your research, start signing up for their informational events, and think about signing up for some edu consultant newsletters (they don't charge for those). Abacus Guide, Admit NY, Joyce Szuflita (sp?)...
I would think anything over 95th percentile but not sure. It depends on how old your child is re which test is best. On the earlier side you could have an independent evaluation for IQ - like the kind of test they require for Hunter.
The process for private applications started last week. Create an account on Ravenna and visit the admissions websites of schools you're interested in.

Both off years

Of course they will.

If you have any standardized test results (that are good) get them into the admission file.
Like the ERBs? What is considered good?
