Clearly Dalton is an Ivy feeder. DMV privates may be having a tough year with matriculations to top 20 schools/Ivies, but NYC prep schools seem to be doing just fine and claiming a good percentage of the spots. I thought the Ivies and top 20s were trying to diversify were their admits come from? Instead it looks like NYC prep schools get the most. It's an embarrassment of riches, when looking at this list. No school in the DMV this year can compare. 🙄

? How does the "embarrassment of riches" not apply to the top privates in the DC area.

The parent population at top NYC privates is in an entirely different league than DC’s.

I’m not sure exactly where the kids of Katie Holmes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Emily Blunt (if they’re back in NYC now), Drew Barrymore, Tina Fey etc go to school in NYC, but presumably top NYC privates. And I bet they’re far from the wealthiest parents of kids at those schools when you take into account NYC finance parents. Unlike DC privates that have a lot of civil servants making $180k/year.

dp-- Richard Montgomery High School in Montgomery County MD, home of the county wide IB magnet.

They do well with college admissions, but a huge number goes in state to UMD. Despite what some may think about the student body of RMIB, most are from MC/lower half of UMC families who cannot afford $80K/college and are donut hole families.

Love the baby/kid photos. At least one is a tip-off that the kid is a legacy.

ok, but that's a bit one deaf when DC private school parents complain about grade inflation in public schools and how it impacts DC area private school kids college admissions.

Right, of course. But what about the Ivies and top schools taking all these kids? They claim to be interested in expanding their reach and diversifying, but this list proves that's all talk. They really want wealthy NYC elite.

Do you think diversify means more than a sprinkling?
