[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please stop posting this nonsense. You don’t know anything about NCS and you don’t even have a daughter that attends the school so please keep your misinformed opinions to yourself. You sound like an elitist snob and are giving STA a bad name with your reoccurring posts. STA does admit public school kids but I do not know the numbers to say they admit as many as NCS. They are both great schools and in the same family but the two schools are very different starting from the top down. The boards are very different. The STA board is not as diverse as NCS’s board. It also has a large number of members that belong to the same clubs and the same social group. NCS is more diverse overall. The make up of the grades are different and NCS is much more progressive so maybe NCS is attracting more public school students to apply? I am not sure. I will say though that I can think of some very top students at STA that came from public schools so I am sure STA has faith in the abilities of public school kids.

I don’t have a daughter who attends NCS but have many friends who do. You’re the one who sounds like a snob and is putting down STA. You sound hysterical and irrational.

It’s not snobbery to say DCPS has challenges and weaknesses. It’s reality. Yes, their students are not as well prepared and yes they do take time to catch up once they enter the top private schools. [/quote]

NP. Didn’t sound like a put down of STA to me. It sounds like they are merely explaining how it’s more conservative reputation may explain why it does not have as many public school students as NCS because maybe not as many are applying. You put down NCS by giving false facts and saying it didn’t have as many applicants which is not true. You also put down NCS by highlighting its supposed issues. [b]Focus on Sidwell’s issues. It sounds as though they have had many issues lately, including mean parent and student behavior. Focus on that instead of putting down public schools and NCS[/b]. [/quote]
