[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they rank the kids and distribute this information to the parents?[/quote] I do not believe so. But I do know that every year at STA, after the prizes and honors are conferred on the senior class, there is chatter among the parents and even some school administrators about how the Beauvoir boys did in that regard. I think among parents it's partially because these families who went the distance have known each other for over a decade and become close, and it's partially because of the notion discussed at places like DCUM and elsewhere that recent transfers "outperform" the lifers. Among the administration, I think when lifers do well, it shows that the AD made the right call 8 years prior, and also reflects a certain fondness I believe that exists between the school admin and the lifers. For one thing, they've just known them for so much longer.[/quote]
