[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15 would be the number of NMSF if the basketball players were not recruited. It's the number people would use to decide if their child would go to Maret or not.

But most people wouldn't even know Maret existed without the newspaper article.[/quote]

I don't know -- I think most NW DC private school parents were aware of Maret before this week!  Which is honestly why this latest athletics push is sort of odd.  The school is thriving and admissions are highly competitive.  I guess it is just more evidence that no school is immune to the "athletic success" virus (see also Harvard, 2012 Cheating Scandal at, for example).[/quote]

That is the problem. Most NW DC parents know but Maret really needs to reach out further than just NW DC. Many kids commute an hour to go to a DC private school from the exburbs. You are not going to get the quality until kids actually want to commute.[/quote]

42% of Maret's student population comes from outside of DC.[/quote]
