[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - Does anyone have a sense of how the earlier years are for non-BVR kids who go to STA? Thinking about applying next year for our DS but worried about a dynamic where there are a ton of kids who've been together at BVR since K and then a small group of truly new kids, and whether that creates weird cliques and whatnot that are hard to break into for the non-BVR kids.

Think of it this way.....
There are 45 - 48 boys in the 4th grade.  Beauvoir sends 25 - 30 each year.  By 6th grade, the Beauvoir contingent is in the minority. And in a post on another topic a parent refers to the 4th grade as a "great awakening" for the Beauvoir boys.[/quote]

You can’t add, and you don’t know your facts.  Beauvoir sends 30-35 to STA every year.  Only about 10 non-Beauvoir boys are admitted at 4th.

In B form, admission is based on attrition, so only a handful (1-4) are admitted.

In A form (6th), only 10-12.  So, by 6th grade, the Beauvoir contingent still makes up a majority of the STA class..
