[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret and WIS enroll many foreign, and foreign language-oriented, students who don't bother with the PSAT. SJC's graduating class is half the size of J-Rs and emphasizes sports (not as academic as some of the other parochial high schools in the area). Still, I'm surprised by their paucity of semifinalists. [/quote] You are really scraping the barrel of mental gymnastics to somehow explain away the performance of supposed top private schools. Maret has over 95% of the class attending a US college and very similar demographics to the other DC privates. SJC is 60% of the size of JR and has a Scholars program (50 kids per class) which is almost entirely based on entrance exam performance at the top 1% - 2%. For some reason these privates get a free pass but JR still sucks...I get it.[/quote]
