[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at Deal and there are quite a few Asians there.  I have another kid at a Big3 private and can't think of any DC Asians (none at all in my child's grade, I'm not as familiar with other grades). Asians generally don't want to pay close to $50k for school (smart people!). [/quote]

I f the Big 3 is Sidwell, there are quite a few South Asians.  STA/NCS has a fair number of Asians as well. That said, most Asian immigrants are at high-performing publics.[/quote]

Yes, but the Asians at our Big3 are all from suburbia.  Not DC residents.  [/quote]

Asians who opt for private schools want schools like Exeter, Andover first.  They have never heard of the “Big Three” and if they heard of private schools in DC, it’s just Sidwell and St Albans.

The top boarding schools are inundated with applications from overseas Asian students mainly Chinese.  Harder for them to get in too since they are competing among themselves.  These families are totally different from Asian families that aim for great public schools in the ‘burbs - these do not move to DC.  [/quote]
