[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have the data that a 1/5 of the class at STA and NCS are NMSF (or is this the phenomenon of a unseasonably fine year as with Ivy League admissions)?  You may be challenged?  Though this is a low bar as you can routinely double that proportion for the public school magnet high schools in the area (e.g., TJHS and Blair Magnet).[/quote]

If you re-read the prior post it referenced NMSF for STA only, not NCS.  Google a query like "St. Albans School National Merit Semifinalists 2012" and you should come up with the school's announcement.  For more schools over a longer period of time, in the FAQ sticky about private school admissions there's a spread sheet about NMSF and SAT totals.  From memory, Sidwell was the top and STA and NCS were up there.

TJ's percentage is significantly higher (about 33% this year, 156 out of approximately 480).  If you live in Fairfax County and your kid is math/science oriented, that's a great fit.  For DC/MD or VA non FC people, or for kids who are humanities focused, that's not an option of course.[/quote]
