[quote=Anonymous]I’d say 3-6 schools is pretty standard for high school. Private schools don’t really post admissions data so it is a bit of a guessing game and based on reputation (those in private school when graduating 8th grade get a lot of guidance from their current school). Each school may have their own application requirements, including essays and teacher recommendations. Many DC area schools use an application portal called Ravenna. Testing requirements can also vary widely (none/optional, HSPT for Catholic schools, ISEE/SSAT for some independents schools, and in-house testing has become more common post-pandemic). If you’re new to all this, start doing your online research now, and plan on attending Open Houses in the fall. That will give you a better lay of the land, sense for the different schools, and an idea of the admissions process. Hope this helps! It can be overwhelming but there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way.[/quote]
