National Merit Semifinalist for DMV Private Schools

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I saw that news articles announcing the National Merit semifinalists from MCPS schools but cannot seem to them for DMV private schools (specifically, MD). Does anyone know if there's a list of MD semifinalists that we can access somewhere?

Thanks!

Usually the Baltimore Sun posts it, but I have only seen the Patch listing Bethesda, Silver Spring & Rockville public schools.

Does this mean, not many? That isn't great. Usually Holton has a bunch, but is the education going down?

It means it just hasn't gone public yet....I doubt it has anything to do with how many people

McLean Patch listed 9 from Potomac School:

Each state gets to release their own list.

Agree, not sure why Patch isn't publishing private schools in DC & MD! A user on this Reddit thread has the entire book and says they will post it tonight: https://www.reddit.com/r/psat/comments/xe83xz/list_of_semifinalists_by_state/?sort=new.

Walls: 6
Sidwell: 5
GDS: 4
STA: 3
Gonzaga: 3
NCS: 2
SAAS: 2
Basis DC: 1
JR/Wilson: 1
Maret: 1
WIS: 1
Whittle: 1

Impressive results for DC public schools:

Public: 8

Walls beat every private school in the DC—kudos to them!

And, for privates, Gonzaga bested NCS and SAAS.
