NP. I think the point is that well-prepared kids (with involved parents) can do well w/college admissions coming from Wilson, too.

I have a much younger kid in private currently, but we're IB for Wilson. I'm happy to hear about these results (we may consider Wilson and Walls, if possible, for high school).

yes, that is the point exactly. That in DC you don't have to spend close to $50K a year for school in order to get into elite colleges.

Top kids at Wilson and STA/Sidwell/NCS are getting into the exact same schools year-in and year-out.

Maybe. But once they get to college, the former struggle (including with writing), while the latter are well prepared.

Care to support that? Yeah, didn’t think so.

Still in hiding.

Was a horrible year at STA, Sidwell, NCS and GDS.

It is truth elsewhere too. A top national or state ranking in sports certainly helps. At the end, sports trumps everything.
