[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SJC is mentioned quite a bit, so not sure what you are talking about.

I assume you know it and other WCAC schools are considered sports powerhouses, so don't think your kid can just show up and play many sports if not recruited.

Solid academically, but not crazy amounts of homework.  Produced 2 NMSFs this year vs. [b]anywhere from 6-10 at GDS, Sidwell, STA[/b] just to give you some benchmark.

Good size...1200 kids total vs. 300 at STA, [b]600ish at Sidwell[/b]/GDS.[/quote]

I’m chiming in to provide accurate information about Sidwell. Sidwell produced 11 NMSFs this year (the highest # I’ve seen at Sidwell, in recent memory, was 16). Sidwell has ~500 students in the US. [/quote]

Sidwell has about 125 in the senior class with 11 NMSF for 2024-2025.  That is 8%.

BIM has 24 in the senior class with 3 NMSF for 2024-2025.  That is 12.5%

If you are looking for a great private school in the DMV, consider BIM.  The school has been rated as the #1 private school in the DMV (Sidwell is #2).

I don’t put much stock in Niche rankings (for obvious reasons). However, out of curiosity, what was BIM ranked in 2023? 2022 and earlier?

If you want to send your child to a bargain basement for-profit school (with a public charter pedigree), I’ll leave you to it. It appears that only about 25 families/year are interested in that…interesting experiment. 
I wonder why? Actually, I don’t.

I have never seen Devry able to make the claim they have a higher %age of NMSFs compared to Harvard.

Strange to call BIM a bargain basement for-profit school and at the same time admit that it outperformed Sidwell on this metric.

BTW…WTf is BIM?[/quote]
