[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both live in the shadow of Sidwell. Maret can't beat them in terms of rigor, prestige, college outcomes, and sports. GDS can't beat them in sports or college outcomes.[/quote]

GDS beats Maret because it doesn't have all the problems with the athletic fields that make people hate Maret (see the various news articles).

GDS also has a lot more NMSF than Maret, and I always had the sense it was academically much stronger.  I think Maret only had one NMSF this year.[/quote]

NMSF this NMSF that. GDS academics &gt; Maret academics, but NMSF numbers are not some foolproof/unbiased indicator of superior academics.[/quote]

Ok then what's your evidence that Sidwell is superior to GDS?  And that GDS is superior to Maret?  You don't want to look at performance data from a national test administered independently to all students.  What indicators are you using?[/quote]

If you want to look at average test scores, do SAT/ACT not PSAT.

Sidwell: 1460/33
GDS: 1430/32
Maret: an abysmal 1380/32

Already we can see the difference. I don't care to do a deep dive into the different course offerings but here is the surface of it all.[/quote]

Where are those numbers published?[/quote]
