6th Grade Enrollment in 2025-26
**[Updated June 9th, 2025]**
There are currently 187 students on the waitlist. Of those 187, 75 are in-zone non-sibling preference. 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.
As of now, the 6th grade is ‘full’ but more seats will almost certainly be offered. Our school goal is to have 186 enrolled 6th graders. The district has 5 place-holder spots for students that move into the zone, but in most years all 5 of those spots will go to students on the waitlist. Also, some families ‘no-call, no-show’ so we offer seats once we here from them or they don’t come to school.
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 student from a closing school, 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 June 9th waitlist positions. These projections are for ‘being offered a seat anytime before mid-September 2025. For students further down the list, but still with a chance of getting in (spots 12-25) the if a seat offer comes it is usually after school starts and a student ‘no-shows’. 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.

7th/8th Grade Waitlist 25-26
The 7th and 8th grade waitlist moves slower than the 6th grade waitlist in the spring and summer, but picks up in August and September. 7th grade is currently over-enrolled, so even if we lose 3 students, we would not offer a seat.
Positions 1-2: 75% of being offered a seat
Positions 3-4: 60%
Positions 5-6: 50%
Positions 7-8: 35%
Positions 9-10: 30%
Positions 11-12: 20%
Positions 13-14: 15%
Positions 15-16: 10%
Positions 17-20: 5%
Positions 21-25: 2%
Positions 26-30: 1%
