BVR is nothing like STA/NCS so as your child matured, you may decide on a different route. Either way, BVR and NPS will support your family choices during outplacement. Go where the child feels more comfortable or where as parents you feel more accepted into the community.

This is not necessarily true. There is a limit on the number of NPS kids they will take every year, so in a since, if you really want STA/NCS, you're competing against your classmates for the spots.

Well if that’s the case, I need someone to make sense of the 7 boys to STA and 5 girls to NCS 2020. I can’t wait to see this years outplacement for NPS.

2020 class was a bigger class than normal. more importantly, they were a much more academic group than the norm for NPS. 7 boys to STA and 5 girls to NCS did not happen again this year. 2020 was a fluke. In fact, in 2019 I think it was one girl going to NCS and three boys all with a hook.

Lots of legacies/ siblings to STA/ NCS in the NPS 2020 class. That is the major reason for this number of acceptances

For kids at NPS or st Patrick's, is it easier to apply out to STA or Sidwell etc in 4th grade (together with the Beauvoir class)?

NPS admits to STA over the past 3 years were by-in-large hooked.

2019: 3 admits, all hooked
2020: 7 admits, all hooked or all but one hooked. There were at least 12 boys who applied to STA from this class and only the ones with hooks got in. My friend's son was unhooked. He did not get in.
2021: I don't know the results

Wow. Where can I find this information? Would the admin people be honest if I ask? Thank you!

I'm not sure you can find it anywhere. You could try asking NPS. I know because I have good friends who were in those first two classes. their kids are all happy elsewhere. My son applied to STA too (one of those years) from another school and was also waitlisted. STA is just exceedingly difficult to get admitted to.

If you believe the previous poster, you're crazy. No way would they know this information. Not buying it. I have a kid that came from BVR so I have no dog in this fight but if you all believe this poster, you're crazy.

I have to sign off but I'm not making this up. Clearly I spent too much time worrying about this at the time. It was our top school choice. Our kid is now elsewhere and doing very well so it all worked out in the end.
We just applied kid #2 and he/she is joining his/her sibling.

2019--3 kids came from NPS. 2 were siblings and the third was some kind of hook (NCS sister?). I'm forgetting what exactly. My own son applied and was waitlisted. That year out of 12 or so STA 7th grade admits, 11 were hooked in some way (sibling/URM/VIPs). It was a crazy year--it's not always like this.
2020--NPS was a very boy heavy class (like 60-70%). A bunch applied to STA (12-14?). 7 got in. They were all siblings or legacy. I know because I had good friends in this class. It's not top secret knowledge. Parents talk about admissions and this was a large pool of parents so there was a lot of talk to a lot of people. The kids all landed elsewhere and it all worked out.
2021--I have no idea.
You are welcome to contact NPS to confirm all of this or speak to another parent in one of these former classes.

So now being an URM is considered being hooked?

Of course. Not surprising.

Not at all. End of the day, both schools are good.

Yes, I can confirm this. I'm an NCS/STA parent. 2019 was a crazy year for STA admission - large number of alumni, trustee, and faculty kids applying in the non-Beauvoir pool. 2020 - a number of unhooked boys admitted from NPS. It's not a shoo-in for NPS situation like one of the PPs said. It depends on the field of competition applying each year.

How's BVR children applying out to other schools (Sidwell, GDS, etc)?
