[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have you all beat with my rejected kid.

-4.0; straight A's every quarter at Deal for 6th, 7th, 8th (no A minuses in any quarter). 
-PARCC 99% in 7th grade for Deal, DCPS and DC for both ELA and Math
-IB Student of the month at Deal for a month in 6th grade, 7th grade and 8th grade. 
-Highest ELA average, end of year award in 7th grade

No interview.  
She's a quiet, well liked girl.  Not a trouble maker and not loud or obnoxious.

As a parent of a Deal student who was offered an interview, and is a great hard working kid with a 4.0 but does not have all of these other achievements, my heart aches reading this.  I know achieving all this is not easy at a place like Deal.  Honestly I feel like the top kids get a lot more hand holding at the other middie schools in DC where being a strong student makes you stand out more.  At deal high achievers are just one of many and it sounds like your daughter has found a way to distinguish herself.  I am not sure what your other options are but on the upside, hearing how the walls process is shaking out is making me feel more and more confident about the 9th grade cohort at JR next year![/quote]
