[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Virginia and are looking at Maret.  I was shocked that Maret’s literature states: 8% of students reside in Virginia.  That has to be the lowest of the Sidwell, GDS, STA/NCS cohort?  I tried to look up the others but without success. [/quote]

Maret is much more a 'neighborhood' school. like lots of kids are actually walking distance to school - much more than the sidwells of the world. It is a nice, relatively low-stress option if you are local and have money. A bunch of our neighbors in upper NW chose it for this reason. For HS, lots of people come there after either Sheridan or St Pats.[/quote]

Do not know about “lots of people come there after Sheridan or St Pat”. It has a 5-8% acceptance rate in 9th grade. Lower if you take out sibling preference. In a good year 1-2 kids from these schools would get in. Though those same kids get into every school they applied to because they are top students.

We went to the US open house and our last name started with “H”. DS gave name and the staffer checked off his name. This was from a clip board holding all the names. The first page was single spaced with four columns. The staffer went seven pages deep before getting to our name. It seems like you are uninformed. [/quote]
