[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids I know who didn’t get into Burke or Field usually had underlying learning challenges that weren’t well suited for the schools. Good students but needed more help — kids who are thriving at Lab and Sienna and Commonwealth. [/quote] Agree! Often admissions finds out whatever the previous school is trying to hide. Most K-8’s are known to hide challenges and other issues in their letters of recommendation and other materials. So schools like Burke will now go the extra mile to comb through this information and read between the lines for any potential academic or social challenges. They don’t want to accept a student they would have to kick out in the future. OP, you never described your “solid student”. There has to be something you’re not sharing as to why your kid wasn’t accepted. Yes, it could be the grade was already pretty full and there were few open spots. But I’m guessing it’s something else. [/quote]
