I’m planning on reapplying next year, and am considering schools in California. I see that the top schools are Cate and Thatcher but they both have less than 300 students. Do they have room to accept sophomores?
Both schools admit kids as 10th graders and, in Thacher’s case (it’s Thacher, not Thatcher) sometimes 1 or 2 juniors. All this info is available on both websites.
Yes, both Cate and Thatcher accept 10th graders, but not many. The exact number varies every year however, depending on attrition and the size of the existing 9th grade class. I believe that Cate took 3 or 4 this year.
