[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL. So hearsay from random parents that "Sidwell is a hippie school" or school visit propaganda about "heritage" and "distinction" = unimpeachable evidence. But a list of which schools have the most National Merit scholars and highest SAT scores = "junk". Duly noted. [quote=Anonymous] Please don't use junk lists like this to figure out which private schools make sense for your child. Visit and talk to other parents. [/quote][/quote] Well, no, it actually doesn't report which schools had the "most" National Merit scholars. It reports the percentage that were semi-finalists. This isn't reflective of total population. If Sidwell has a 13% rate and Richard Montgomery school wide has a 6% rate, that still means there are more semi-finalists at Richard Montgomery than at Sidwell.[/quote]
