[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does it stack up against DC's top schools? Good return on the dollar. [/quote] Well, St. Albans had 20% go Ivy this year, and 30% last year -- percentage-wise, that Florida school with 355 seniors would need 70 kids in the senior class going to the Ivies to match that. Not saying Ivy admissions is the only metric for college admissions -- it clearly is not -- but that seemed to be what that school was highlighting with the photos of the kids on the link to the website. [/quote] The 10% National Merit Semifinalist percentage is good -- it is above most independent schools in this area with the exception of Sidwell, NCS, and GDS. Sounds like a pretty strong cohort at that school, but you can't look at numerators (number admitted to Ivies or NMSFs) without denominators (class size) or you're not really getting a full picture.[/quote]
