[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here: I'm in a similar situation with DD. She was accepted to Beauvoir for K and our alternative is a Ward 3 DCPS (Eaton.) We do want NCS for 4th and have no legacy or ties to either Beauvoir or NCS. Do the same arguments apply for Beauvoir to NCS vs. Beauvoir to STA?[/quote]

Yes, the odds would be almost as steep for an unconnected girl applying to NCS from DCPS ( almost identical to a non connected DCPS boy applying to STA). You could ask the guidance counsellor at Eaton how many 3rd grade girls from Eaton get accepted into Private school each year , emphasis at non-connected, non-high profile ( assuming that description fits your family)

Of the 40 girls at Beauvoir, about 25-30 will go on to NCS, and I assume NCS has about the same number of 4th grade spots as STA ( 45).

Something else to consider is the overall outstanding placement of Beauvoir grads upon leaving the school at end of 3rd grade. In DC's grade, the girls who did not choose NCS , went to Maret, Sidwell, GDS, Holton and Stone Ridge. Many of the 40 familes with girls( Beauvoir has 40 boys/40 girls/ grade)  got their first choice, all got at least their 2nd choice school for 4th grade. That's pretty favorable advantage provided just by attending Beauvoir, compared to going it alone as a child coming from DCPS without a family connection to any private  school. ( ulness you prefer public which would be Wilson for HS)

Good Luck.[/quote]
