[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one has data because the schools don't want you to know this.

-But talk to any parent of a senior this year or last. 
-Talk to a NW DC college admissions counselor. 
-Look at the schools' student-run Instagram pages from last year and this year (not prefect but give trends)

Listen, we're not making this up for kicks and thrills or to start drama for fun. Pretty much no one is getting in who isn't a minority or an athlete or a big donor's kid. 
OR feel free to keep paying the $55K per year and keep your head in the sand until your kid's senior year and you see this play out with your own kid.  That's honestly probably the best approach.

Nobody is arguing with you that T20 admissions for unhooked kids from the big 3 are almost nonexistent. We are arguing that DCPS does not have some secret sauce for unhooked kids. URM and athletics (the most obvious hooks) are not the only hooks getting some DCPS kids in. There is no way for parents to collect this data. It is all rumor and anecdata.[/quote]

I am a public school kid and I would never send my kid to a public school in this area. Drugs in school, fights in the hallways, disruptions, and my friends kids who are in public school are trying to get their kids out. Knife fight in class in front of her daughter. Afraid to look at certain kids the “wrong way” or you may get jumped. [/quote]
