Current 9th grade class has 10-15 fewer students than the upper graders. Assuming that due to the pandemic, some families chose other options. Not sure how that affects admissions, but it's one data point to consider.
That's interesting. I always assumed that Trinity would have no problem filling in spots if anyone chooses to leave. The lower tiered schools may struggle, but I wouldn't thought Trinity would have any troubles. I wonder if the lower enrollment is by choice (and if so, what's the rationale).
Some of the families that left (after school has already started) may have had tuition insurance so the school still received tuition. Perhaps having fewer students was a positive since that helped with density issues and social distancing. I assume the school could have easily taken in some waitlist kids (for example a public school student would have been able to switch at the last minute with no financial penalties) but no one joined the grade at the last minute. So I can only assume that the school chose to keep the smaller class size.
