[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. We've accepted for 5th grade (pure luck, not a sibling) but are still considering Deal.  We have several friends with kids at Latin, and I am genuinely confused by the comments about lack of rigor. Literally just among our own acquaintances, we know kids taking AP BC calculus, AP French, AP Latin, AP environmental science, AP English, AP Statistics and AP Biology.  We also have heard that this year alone they had kids get into Yale, UChicago, Middlebury, Claremont colleges, full rides to GW, and more. How is that not rigorous? Since we still have time to decide, I'm anxious to understand.

There are some great college placement results this year. But the data on the school shows that there a lot of students who will not be going to schools of that caliber.

From Friday's Wash Post:

WL's offers 10 AP courses (as of 2016). Only 18.8% of last year's graduating seniors passed 1 or more AP class with a grade of 3 or better (scale of 1 to 5)

The average SAT score was 943 (out of 1600); average ACT was 22.55 (out of 32).

The high school PARCC scores are also low. The MS ones are good.

If your child really needs a small environment, send them to Latin. But if you want a broad curriculum and challenge, you'd be better staying at Deal and Wilson. [/quote]
