[quote=Anonymous]Our kid applied to a Big3 school for 6th from a JKLM school and did not get in---out of about 15 classmates applying out to Sidwell/GDS/NCS/STA only one got a spot. My kid did a year of public middle school (6th) and applied again for 7th and was admitted. 6th grade admissions seem to be hard from DCPS because so many kids apply. A much smaller amount apply out for 7th from DCPS so your odds of getting a spot are greater. Remember, your child's main "competition" (for lack of a better word) are kids from their own school or district. A private is not going to take an entire class of kids from one feeder elementary. So if they only have 10 spots to start, they'll probably take 1 or 2 max from any one elementary. So when 10-15 apply most do not get in. [/quote]
