[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually the ones who get in at ninth are very strong students. The ones coming from public or weaker privates may take a semester or two to adjust.[/quote] From where (i.e. which schools) do the strong students come?[/quote] In my experience they come from a total mix of publics and privates from across the entire DMV (from close-in schools and very far-flung places in MD and VA). These schools really pick the best kids they can from all over. There doesn't seem to be any pattern and it varies by year. [/quote] Why do the Deal posters say there are so many Deal kids at the top schools? Is it true?[/quote] There are always some Deal kids going to the local privates for HS. Those Deal kids are plenty smart. There are two or three posters whose kids went to Deal who post a lot. That might give you the impression that more Deal kids end up at the local privates than actually do.[/quote]
