[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why the belief that Beauvoir is a top school over some others is being perceived as a bad attitude. As the PP said, it's not different than saying Sidwell, GDS and STA/NCS are the Big 3. Which implicitly means that they are held in higher regard then say Maret, Holton, Landon, etc. That doesn't mean the other schools are bad. It simply means when people start ranking schools that's where they fall. It would be naive to not think Beauvoir is considered top tier over the others when it is the feeder school into one (two) of the Big 3. Does that mean that children from the other school can't get into STA/NCS? No, but it does mean that STA/NCS hold the education the children are getting at Beauvoir in higher regards, and I doubt it's simply because they are part of the Cathedral system but because statistically a high percentage of Beauvoir students year after year prove they are prepared to thrive at a Big 3.

Simply put its the difference between going to a top 3 university and a top 20. Top 20 is excellent but they are not a top 3. [/quote]

As a Beauvoir parent this is something I would not say or write publicly. [/quote]
