[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it weren't for the reference about distance, I would think Norwood. They did awful last year based on their own web page.[/quote]

I really don't know what you're talking about.  My child was an 8th grader at Norwood last year and they had a very good year.  Multiple matriculations at all of the Big 3 (including GDS, which was very difficult last year), Holton, Georgetown Prep, Potomac, and Maret.   [/quote]

Let's be clear to everyone not in the know. There were 2 GDS admits last year of which both were admitted in spite of Langley. They excelled elsewhere.  There were no Sidwell's.  The Potomac admits were 1) admitted to GDS and attended GDS 2) sibling 3) unclear hook or no hook.

80%+ did not get into their first choice.

Again, I really don't know what you're talking about so yes, let's be clear to everyone not in the know.  There are 3 at Sidwell from last year's Norwood class- feel free to check the website that you are citing.  re: GDS, what does "in spite of Langley mean"?  I'm not sure what your point about being admitted to both Potomac and GDS and choosing GDS means. Most kids are accepted at multiple schools and all of them only chose one to attend.  But there are still multiple kids attending Potomac from last year's Norwood class.

It is 100% not true that 80% didn't get into their first choice.  I can think of more than 20% off the top of my head that got into their first choice and that doesn't include the kids who matriculated at Bullis and St. Andrews, which were many kids first choice given their location and/or interests.

PP here - the comments were regarding Langley School placement. You seem to be mixing up things between Norwood (https://www.langleyschool.org/academics/high-school-placement) and Langley.  Langley school outplacement were atrocious [/quote]

Your information is just wrong--ie there are 5 Langley grads from 2023 at GDS,  the year that supposedly no-one got in. Sorry your child didn't do better, but kids got into great schools from that grade. [b]One strength of the k-8s is getting kids off the wait lists. [/b][/quote]

This...it's too early to make a final determination, anywhere. [/quote]
