Wait list update: PS 8 has accepted around 150 Kindergarten students to fill 125 seats = 5 classes this fall. The attrition rate has been approx. 30 in the past years, that’s why approx. 25 kids beyond the 125 seats have been accepted. 50 kids are currently on the PS 8 wait list. The attrition rate is VERY hard to predict but if it stays consistent with the last years, only a handful of kids on the wait list would get in. PS 8 would really need 7 Kindergarten classes for the school year 2015/2016 to accept all in-zone students.
