[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for experience and anecdotes. I've always wanted same sex education for my very bright daughter who is currently in public (Arlington) and NCS appeals to me the most. What's it like applying at the middle school level? How many girls typically come in at this stage? She has always done very well on standardized tests and has other ECs going for her (sports, music, etc). I realize no guarantee when it comes to admissions, but let's put that aside for right now. [b]The finances would be a stretch but in some ways [/b]I think middle and high school education are more important than college. I am horrified by the writing skills of public school graduates and have other concerns as well so looking at private options. [/quote] You’re going to make her take out loans in her name for college after YOU decided to spend her college fund on private hs?[/quote] I mean that I think state flagships are excellent, but college typically too late to learn great writing skulking[/quote] Above should say skills[/quote]
