[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They both are. St. Pats is a good feeder to the Cathedral Schools. NPS is a good feeder to Sidwell and Cathedral Schools. They are similar. Do you identify more with Episcopalians or Presbyterians? NPS might be slightly more Republican and Southern than St. Pats.

Last year, the largest # of NPS kids went to Maret.[/quote]

There were also a number of girls who went to Holton. And, yes, the NPS ties to the Cathedral schools are strong. [/quote]

St Pats currently sends kids to Cathedral Schools in much larger numbers than NPS does.  That may change once Malcolm Lester takes over NPS though.  St Pats also sends several graduates to Sidwell, Maret, GDS, Potomac, Landon and Holton every year.  Their admissions to the best DC area privates is unmatched for both 6th and 8th.  And their graduates do incredibly well at their next school.  [/quote]

As a percentage of graduates, NPS sends more kids to Sidwell than St. Pat's does.  Some argue that Sidwell is more "prestigious" than the Cathedral schools.  It may be true that more St. Pat's families [i]choose[/i] Cathedral schools, it has nothing to do with the strength of outplacement.  Lately, more NPS girls have been choosing Holton over NCS.  This is a choice, not because NCS wasn't an option.  If you compare the outplacement of the two schools, you'll find they are too similar to say that one is better than the other. [/quote]
