[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What high school is most like Burgundy?   [/quote]

More Burgundy students go to TC Williams than any other because they are Alexandria City residents and there is a bias among Burgundy parents to be part of the public school system. Every 3-4 years, the TC valedictorian or salutatorian is a Burgundy grad. For average Burgundy students, Field and Burke would be similar independent schools. For strong students, it would be GDS.  GDS has been the most popular high school to apply at Burgundy, but enrollment (don't know how many acceptances) has been pretty much limited to 1 or 2 students while SFS and StA/NCS are typically 0-1 students.

Um, no. Looking at Burgundy exmissions over the last half dozen years, it is rare for more than a handful of kids from each graduating class to go to TC (typically, it's 3 or 4 or 5 a year). Burgundy kids go all over. My older DC's graduating class had several kids at Burke, several at Field, a couple each at NCS, Episcopal, Maret and GDS, a couple at Madeira, a couple at places like Gonzaga and St Anselms, and then it was all over the map: a few kids to other NoVa public schools,a few to other parochials, a couple to TJ, a few to out of state boarding schools, some to schools in other states b/c families moved, etc. My younger child's class had four or five to Flint Hill, which got popular with Burgundy kids b/c the HoS's child went there. Burgundy kids tend not to go to Holton, Bullis, St Andrews bc they are just too long of a commute, but they are distributed at all the big DC privates and NoVa private and public schools.[/quote]
