[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to send your child to NCS or Sidwell, don’t assume she will be able to get in at middle school after doing French immersion. It sounds like you’re  ignorant, not arrogant but both schools have extremely competitive admissions at 6th and 7th. WIS and Rochambeau are not considered to be academically strong schools. Your daughter will be competing with kids from MoCo magnets, NPS, St. Patrick’s, and schools like Sheridan and Norwood. All these schools are more competitive for entry to NCS and Sidwell than WIS or Rochambeau.

The best chance of entry to NCS is sending your daughter to Beauvoir PK then applying at 4th bc of the special status given Beauvoir applicants. The best chance of entry to Sidwell is in PK. [/quote]

I just wanted to mention that in 4th grade at NCS they take maybe 5-10 girls that are not BVR girls. I guess those numbers in 9th, but not my a lot. I think OP you need to decide how much you want NCS and Sidwell and how much you want French immersion. 
We have friends at both Rochambeau and WIS and my kids are at BVR/NCS so I know quite a bit.
Both Rochambeau and WIS seem like great school and Rochambeau is also a lot cheaper which is nice (maybe half the price). It is much more academic in elementary than BVR from what I can tell. I don’t have friends in middle and high school so I don’t know about the higher grade. Our friends at WIS love it too, but we’re not impressed with the PK/K years… it got a lot better after that.

We love BVR and NCS and academically they are top notch. I am pretty sure the smartest most competitive students will be at NCS/Sidwell.

Good luck[/quote]
