[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]

Catholic are private, i.e. not DCPS, not charter. It is true that most NW private school receive tons of applications. However, given that each kid applies to 4-5 schools, the "net" application number is only 20% of the total received.

I know for a fact (if I only could reveal my source....) that there exist concern from the mid-tier NW private schools (take away Sidwell, NC/St Albans) about the decrease in application numbers.

The "controlled lottery" or semi-random selection, of city-wide HS scheme will resolve their problems.[/quote]
