There aren't enough seats for every kid who is "more than capable of doing the work and contributing positively to the school environment." You need to move past this. |
Well then, good. That's useful information to the PP I'm sure. What grade/school? |
How about if someone had a C at some point? I am just amazinged-remember when you could have a tough quarter in middle school and not have it affect the rest of your life. A lot of pressure on these kids. |
Sidwell is about a 10% acceptance rate. Yes, on par with selective colleges. |
It will not preclude admission to high school. |
I'm confused here.
Schools offer "admission". Applicants/parents "accept" admission. So if a school has 300 applicants and admits 30, then the "admission" rate is 10%. If 15 of the 30 accept admission, the "acceptance" rate is 50%. The 15 accepting students are therefore 5% of the applicants. What information are you looking for? |
I think typically people use "admission" and "acceptance" interchangeably, and use "enrollment" or "matriculation" for the other. |
I think most folks call this the yield rate, not acceptance rate. |
