[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fwiw- I know a lot of kids from our WOTP ES who left for private school for 6th. None got into Sidwell or GDS. [/quote] Same here. I knew about 6 kids who applied to both from our DCPS and none got in. Figure that there are about 10-12 spots at each school. Half will be each gender. Half of each gender will be URM (so 3 white girls, 3 URM girls). So if you are a white girl there may be 3 spots. Now 1-2 of those will often go to siblings or legacy applicants (who frequently join after elementary). [b]So there may only be actual spot open for a white girl in 6th grade (for example).[/b] This is what makes the schools so difficult to get in to. [/quote] This person seems to claim it's 1:100.
