[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok well they certainly don’t have to let in 90 percent.  And yes it’s us laughable because Beauvoir kids are bright and well prepared.[/quote]

Again, it's 90 percent of those who applied.  The number applying could be much smaller than the entire class.  If 50 kids applied, then 45 were let in -- for example. T

The final class numbers will give a good indication of how many actually applied to STA/NCS.  
We also know that the class size is just a bit over 80 kids. We know that the kids are attending 14 schools.  
We also know that 88 percent of the class received their top choice (and thus 12 percent didn't.)

What we can divine is the following:  Those applying to STA/NCS had a much better acceptance rate than last year.

The number of schools is as, or perhaps even more varied, than last year.  This year all children had committed to school. Last year five were still trying to find spots around this time.

In sum, was a  better because there was greater success at the Cathedral schools, which is the destination of choice for most Beauvoir parents. So that's clearly good news.

For the kids who didn't want to attend the Cathedral schools or didn't get into the Cathedral school, the results are more muted.

The expectation is that if you go to Beauvoir, you should be well placed to get your top choice whether it's at NCS/STA or elsewhere. The results suggest that about 10 kids/families didn't get into their top choice. Is that a reasonable number. Would you be concerned that your child could end up as one of those 10, or is the time at Beauvoir and its emphasis on early childhood education of a consolation?  If you're not fully set  on a Cathedral, does Beauvoir makes sense, or is it best to find another place (k-12, k-6, k-8) instead?  Has there been too much of an emphasis on deep pockets in recent years?
