6th Grade Enrollment in 2025-26

**[Updated March 16, 2025]**

We recently reviewed preliminary choice data for the 2025-26 school year. Often, choice results go to families right around spring break. 164 6th graders will be offered a seat in Choice Round 1. The breakdown is 2 students of staff members, 55 in-zone sibling preference, 6 FRL priority block and 100 in-zone non-sibling preference. There project to be 189 students on the waitlist. Of those 189, 77 are in-zone non-sibling preference. So, of the 177 in-zone non-sibling preference students interested in coming to DGSN, 56.5% will be offered a seat in choice round 1 and 43.5% will start on the waitlist. We will use this space to consistently update the likelihood of waitlist students getting in to DGS Northfield. We prefer families not email directly, as we take time to update this space with accurate information for all.

Please know that waitlist numbers can change. You get closer to getting in (lower waitlist number) when we offer a seat to someone ahead of you. You get lower on the waitlist (higher number) if an in-zone sibling preference or FRL priority block student applies during choice round 2, as these students go to the top (*this is actually a very small number of students).

Below is the projected likelihood of being offered a seat based on initial choice round 1 waitlist positions. These projections are for ‘being offered a seat anytime before mid-September 2025’. The students that are closer to position 1 are more likely to be offered in the spring / early summer. The students further back are more likely to be offered a seat after school starts. Please know this is just a guess, don’t hold us to this, we are only sharing this because we empathize with people on the waitlist.

Positions 1-5: 99% of being offered a seat
Positions 6-10: 85%
Positions 11-15: 65%
Positions 16-20: 50%
Positions 21-25: 35%
Positions 26-30: 25%
Positions 31-35: 12%
Positions 36-40: 8%
Positions 41-50: 2%
Positions 51-60: 1%
Positions 61-189: <1%

7th/8th Grade Waitlist 25-26

Positions 3-4: 75%
Positions 5-6: 60%
Positions 7-8: 45%
Positions 9-10: 35%
Positions 11-12: 25%
Positions 13-14: 20%
Positions 15-16: 15%
Positions 17-20: 10%
Positions 21-25: 5%
Positions 26-30: 1%
