[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is beyond ridiculous that you all think the private schools in DC want or actually NEED your public school kids. Please. Do you really not get how many applicants are turned away from the privates every year.  It is not just the top tier of privates either. Most of them turn applicants away due to limited spaces. You folks are delusional if you think there is some private school lobby pushing the DC council to do anything at all. They dont give a rats ass.  They don't need to.[/quote]

No, I don't, and evidently you dont get it either. Sidwell and NCS and St.Albans can draw from the pool of best kids in DC and around because they thrive on the inability of the city to give families a clear and predictable path for their kids public school options. Beyond them, there is a bunch of private schools who pretty much take in whoever applies, and in fact will never tell you how many applications they get. Why? Because if they did, even you would realize they do care about the whole process. 
Ask St.Ann's Academy the rats ass they give about the improving public schools. But hurry up. They are closing in June after 90 years because of lack of enrolment,[/quote]

St Ann's is Catholic. That is different.

The good, independent private schools don't need any help getting applicants.  It's not just STA/NSC and Sidwell either.  The strong K-8s (NPS, Sheridan, St Pats) turn tons of applicants away too.  Suggesting otherwise is ludicrous.  Maybe some of the Catholic schools would do better with but not the privates.  [/quote]
