[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Though 80% of kids got on to NCS/STA. While many of those families prefer that, it is not that easy to get into the other similar peer schools and many kids don't. Theye do a good job guiding folks through, but just know that it is definitely not a sure bet.[/quote]

Your response lost me. Are you saying that it will be harder to get into a school that is not NCS or it will be hard to get into NCS?[/quote]

As a parent of a recent Beauvoir grad , that was not the case for DC's class or that of class before or year after.

The numbers were pretty much

31 boys to Saint Albans
29 girls to NCS

5 to Sidwell
5 to Maret
2 or 3 to GDS
2 or 3 to St Pats
2 or 3 to Potomac
and several girls to Holton

don't know specifics on other years, but roughly same I am told[/quote]

Those numbers seem fair in terms of being apply to elsewhere. I don't know if NCS would be our choice, it's just that we aren't one of those families who are applying to Beauvoir because we think it's the best way to get into NCS. What we like about it ending at 3rd is the option to reevaluate our DCs learning style, interests, etc. and then make a long term comittment choice. So it could conceivably be NCS but we haven't looked that far ahead yet.[/quote]
