[quote=Anonymous]The list of this year's 36 DC NMSS by school is a bit interesting.  I note that TJ has produced 145 semifinalists this year, almost 1/3 of their junior class.

Georgetown Day:  8
Georgetown Prep: 1
Maret: 2
National Cathedral School: 4
[b]SWS: 2 (down from 5 last year, an all-time high)[/b]
Sidwell: 11
St. Albans: 7
St. Johns: 1
[b]Wilson: 1[/b] (up from zero last year, Wilson normally produces 1 or 2)
[b]Washington Latin: 0 (they had their first last year)[/b]

DCPS and DCPC can do better on this metric.  I see the middle school test-in magnet programs deficit in this list, along with the problem of the system failing to offer above-grade-level middle school humanities classes in both DCPS and DCPC.  Hello, we can't produce many NMSS on a foundation of middle school math acceleration alone.  In-class differentiation for middle school humanities subjects isn't cutting it.[/quote]
