[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of student in class here -- Burgundy is VERY different from NCS/St. Alban's.  I don't know of anyone who applied to those schools.[/quote]

I agree with tHis.  I am the parent of a rising BFCDS 7th grader. NCS/STA isn't a natural progression for most Burgundy families. A lot of us are at BFCDS because we don't want a pressure cooker learning environment. My child was in the vaunted FFx County GT program in 3rD grade and I couldn't get him out of there fast enough. Perfect for some kids, maybe even most, but if it is not what your child needs you look elsewhere. Private school is an expensive burden for many families, and many kids in my world won't continue in private school pst 8th grade. Anyhow, finding a school that giVes. Child the freedom nd encouragement that BFCDS provides is no easy feat.  I'm probably not schlepping my kid into DC for HS and there isn't much to choose among in close-in northern VA private schools.

We have had quite a few kids go on to Sidwell, btw, including a few I can think of  who moved there in 6th grade or after two years in Public HS -- info that isn't reflected in the 2012 graduating class data.  In a graduating class of 30, the numbers dictate you are not going to hit all the major schools every year.  Especially at a school that isn't pretentious.
