[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing to keep in mind is that Congressional’s middle school starts in 5th. New kids definitely come in 6th (and 7th), but the MS years are kind of chunked 5/6 and 7/8. But you absolutely can join in any year and your child will find friends. My kid’s class actually had more new students in both 6th and 7th than in 5th, but those were likely due to pandemic bailout from public schools, so I can’t say what is most typical.

We have absolutely loved our time at Congressional. [/quote]

thanks! That is really helpful. Any information about how difficult it is to get in for middle school?[/quote]
I honestly don’t know. We had special circumstances and applied out of cycle, so we didn’t even participate in the usual process to get in. We did of course fill out the application, take the SSAT, and even managed to squeeze in a shadow day before the end of the year, but I was entirely new to the DC private school scene and really had no idea how competitive it could be, and have no idea how many may have applied that year. It’s certainly not competitive like the big 3/5/whatever in DC, but beyond that, I’m sorry I can’t be more help with that aspect. [/quote]
