[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High school applications for the current seniors were due during January of the second virtual year and there was no end in sight with DCPS.  If you remember, the DC private schools were back in school, the rest of the country was back in school, and yet DCPS was still virtual--again with no end in sight.  And high school was looming in the fall for this grade.

Everyone who could applied to private high school.  The top privates took the brightest DCPS kids.  Many others did not get a private spot. For every Deal kid I knew who got a Sidwell /GDS/NCS spot there were 2 who applied but were not admitted.

As such, this class at JR was stripped of most of it's top brain power.

It's fascinating to see this play out almost 4 years later.

I believe everything you say of course but also want to point out that the more liberal independent schools, including sidwell where my high schooler was at the time, weren’t in person during that fall, either.  We were pissed.

I will say that the distance learning was likely better quality but yeah, we were still sitting on our couches without a concrete plan for in person (my own kid went back ionly in April of 21, so a year of distance)[/quote]
