[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: Blessed Sacrament students not applying to independents...   Blessed Sacrament families do apply to these "top schools", at least three kids did this year and were not accepted.

But to the point of the original post- if NCS, St. Alban's, etc is your long term goal then the parish schools are not a good choice.  Your children just won't be as prepared as the children from Beauvoir, Primary Day etc.,  also competing for the limited slots. Some of the independent Catholic schools, such as Stone Ridge or Mater Dei, are better options as they are stronger academically than the parish schools.

As previously posted, people who are happy with Blessed Sacrament acknowledge that they are there for the community rather than academic excellence.  If you are coming from outside that community you will be welcome, but it can be a bit rocky, for parents and kids. [/quote]

Three kids out of a graduation class i a very small percentage. We are BS parents and have never heard of any apply to these schools.

Who knows how sincere these applications are anyway. Even if accepted they might have chosen to stay with their friends.[/quote]
