| Basic question, but does Beauvoir go through 2nd or 3rd? Do the kids need to reapply to NCS or STA? Do most get in? |

For real? I mean not to be too rude, but why not type a school's name into Google? Or maybe even look at some of the threads on the first page of this Board like "Beauvoir", "Beauvoir", and "Getting into St. Albans?".

| I'll answer. It goes through 3rd and you have to apply to NCS and STA. |

Not everyone is consumed with Beauvoir/St. Albans/NCS stats. It's a fair question. Would you have erupted this way with a question about when Sheridan School ends in a Sheridan thread?...and it was rude. |

You "apply," but most are presumptively fed from Beauvoir onto NCS/STA. |

What were numbers like for 2009? |

| A handful of Beauvior to NCS/STA kids were flat out rejected due to either behavior issues or poor testing not seen in K entry year. |

There is simply no way you could know this. |

Actually PP could know this if she heard it from the families. Beauvoir has a tendency of allowing pre-k/k behavioral issues to go undetected. Then, big surprise in 3rd grade when it becomes an admissions rec problem. Our graduating class had 3 boys rejected from STA due to behavioral/testing issues. Actually there was a 4th boy, but he was expelled Dec of third grade and didn't get all the way through the STA admissions process. |

| What do you mean by allowing pre-k/k issues to go undetected? do you mean the teachers don't let the parents know if there are issues? |

| I agree with PP -- current Beauvoir parent -- its very apparent who didnt get in from our class. And in most cases you can deduce why. |

Maybe her son was one of them? |

Rather than "undetected," do you mean to say "unaddressed."? |

It is too early to know the numbers as not all students choose to go on to NCS/STA; but it is safe to assume that about 85% of graduating class meaning 68 students (give or take a few) will go on to Beauvoir. There are usually few if any surprises about who doesn't get it to the Cathedral schools. If a student is struggling with Beavuoir academically or behaviorially when they are in the later years at the school (translation meaning Pre-K, K); then they very well may not be cut out for rigorous academics of NCS/STA. That being said, it is important to remember the vast majority of Beauvoir graduates get into NCS/STA. The acceptance rate from Beauvoir is outstanding and incomparable to any other school in the metropolitan area where very likely only students in the very top 10% of their classes would make the cut. |

Teachers or the counselor, no. In the 3 boys cases our year, their issues were discussed end of 2nd grade/beginning of 3rd grade when it was too late. |
