[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It absolutely depends on the school. At Churchill the application process was so difficult and they only let a handful of kids in each year. You basically must have perfect grades, lots of leadership, significant extracurricular involvement etc. Many kids don't bother to apply. I saw a picture of the WJ honor society about two years ago-it was at least 3x the size of the one at Churchill. I think it's very demoralizing for good students (i.e., a few B's mixed in with a rigorous course load) to find it impossible to get into the honor society at their school, yet other MCPS high schools have significantly different standards.

My kid is also a Churchill student and I'm the PP above who mentioned what a pain the application process was that people ended up not wanting to join. But, I don't think it's demoralizing. I think people just don't care and know it's not valued at the school or by colleges. Could be different at different high schools. There were so many other activities to join and other honor societies to be in that NHS just really didn't matter to my kid.[/quote]
