[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NPS bc 6th is a better time to apply out, [b]the upper grades at st Patrick’s are weak[/b], and do you really want to be stuck w/ some of those st pats parents for 10 years? There are some awful families that dominate the social scene [/quote]

You do not know what you are talking about. St pats had great admissions from 8th last year- Sidwell, both Cathedral schools, Maret, etc. The kids say the new schools are intense but not as hard as st pats upper school. [/quote]
I am not referring to the outplacement. I’d say they are fairly equal. I am referring to how well prepared these kids do at their next stop. Speaking from experience, the NPS grads at our k-12 are incredibly well prepared in everything except Spanish, are often in advanced math, etc. It’s in sharp contrast to the kids who come from st pats. They’re very social, often good athletes, but are at a different level academically. They’re not well prepared for presentations, group projects, etc. If all you care about are ex-missions, I’d say they’re probably equal, but I’d talk to some graduates and see how their high school or MS experiences have been.

How do they compare to beauvoir kids?  We are trying to decide between NPS And beauvoir.  Thank u! [/quote]
