[quote=Anonymous]I hope I can get the advice of this group on how to prioritize for my DD who is in 7th. She's a conscientious student with high percentile CAPE and MAP testing, plays a sport but not at a recruit level, does theater, and is generally a well-rounded and well-behaved kid. We're looking for a co-ed school with strong academics that is accessible by bus, metro, or shuttle from central DC, and is mid-size or large, not super small. She's not at any kind of feeder school and we have no hooks whatsoever. St. John's and Burke seem like a fit, and with a reasonable prospect of admission, but what other schools do folks think my DD stands enough of a chance to make it worth going through the process? Sidwell, Maret, and GDS seem to have great locations and are great schools, but maybe don't take a lot of new 9th graders. And is Sidwell really as high-pressure as people say? Any other suggestions for schools that might be a fit?[/quote]
