[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general the admissions rates are highest at the schools with a lot of ninth grade spots to fill. One of the reasons the fancy DC schools are tough admits is because they often only have 10-25 spots. The big Catholics are adding more than 10 times that amount or more. [/quote] Catholic high schools in the DC area have large grade sizes but tend to prioritize Catholics, siblings, and sports recruits for admission. For a non-Catholic, non-sports recruit kid coming from a non-Catholic middle school and without a sibling already enrolled in the school, the acceptance rates are much lower. [/quote] Some Catholic high schools in the area are large, some are small. They range from 70 high school students to 1200 high school students and everything in between.[/quote]
