How did public school kids do in admissions this year?

[Anonymous]

Good to hear that some public school kids have had success at the competitive privates. I sometimes worry we've missed the boat by not getting DC in for preK or K.

MCPS child applied to and got accepted at Maret and NCS. Also accepted to Takoma Park Magnet.

Leaning towards Maret for grade 6.

You know what? If the afore-mentioned didn't offer her a place, then f*** 'em! And if she's OK with Wilson, then she will be fine there. Get her into one of Wilson's academies and she will shine and she will have a better chance at standing out when she applies to college. Plus, you will save loads of cash to devote to her college instead and/or to your own retirement. So please buck up! Your DD will be fine.

A few years back, MCPS applied to NCS, Holton ans Stone Ridge for 6th grade. Got into all 3.

She went to Holton and about 1/2 of the new kids entering that year came from public.

Good luck!

I have two kids who went from MCPS to public. Easy transition.

My kid from a JKLM elementary applied to Sidwell and Maret. Accepted to Maret, rejected at Sidwell. Sidwell was the first choice, but I suspect she will really, really like Maret.

Kid from charter preK wait listed at GDS, Maret, Sidwell and Beauvoir. sigh.

There's a really good group of PG County girls at Holton. They get to know each other well taking the bus. I was very worried about distance being a big social barrier for DD at Holton and it hasn't been at all. Both are great schools. Congrats to your daughter!
