[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why aren't you concerned with other Wilson feeders. Curious why you don't ask Hearst, Oyster, Shepherd, Stoddert, Bancroft parents? Especially when some of these school do as well if not better than JKLM?[/quote]

Which of these schools perform better than Janney/Key/Lafayette/Murch/Mann -- year after year?  [/quote]

Almost all of them. I hope the Janney kids don't pull down the Hearst and Eaton kids. Funny looking at these numbers knowing the IB rate at Hearst and Eaton.

White student performance (non FARM)

Proficient and Advanced 
Hearst 96.67% 
Eaton 96.47% 
Oyster 95.98% 
Mann 95.63% 
Lafayette 95.06% 
Stoddert 93.23% 
Janney 93.04% 
Key 91.76% 
**Shepherd did not have enough white students to measure but they have mid 70s test scores with 33% FARM rate.[/quote]

Can you now post the 10 year numbers for all these schools?  A one-year snap shot is just that.

Also, it's interesting that you (?) got pissy with the OP for limiting the discussion to just "JKLM" but then proceeded [i]to limit your own answer [/i] -- 'Eaton is great, too!!!"  -- to ...just the white folk.  [/quote]

It was an obvious unintentional error to leave off Eaton as you can see from subsequent posting of Eaton's great scores as well as mentioning how great Eaton and Hearst are as well. Feel free to do your own data analysis. Why do you care what Janney's scores are 10 years ago as it is the kids that tested last year that are going to be attending Wilson from OP's question. Scores for 10 years ago are from kids that are no longer in high school. Sorry your false "JKLM is the best and only option" theory is no longer considered to be the end all be all....especially with 33 kids per class. [/quote]

Big chip on your shoulder, uh?[/quote]

Not at all. I think Janney is a great, proven school. Just amusing that many Janney parents think J is the only school worth considering. You'd they'd be ecstatic at the prospect of their future high school cohorts, while being diverse, will be just as prepared as they are. Isn't that exciting?[/quote]
