[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Color me impressed. Thomas Jefferson in Fairfax County has about 455 students in its Senior class, and 119 of them, or a quarter of the class, are National Merit Semifinalists.[/quote] Yes, and TJ selects all of its students at the 9th grade juncture, with high test scores in hand. As compared to other dc privates, Sidwell regularly compares very favorably in terms of NMSF. Also, the NMSF cutoff is lower for va than dc. I have no idea how many more Sidwell, or other dc school kids, would be NMSF in the Virginia context. I am guessing g that PP us just offering facts to dispel any myth that may be out there that Sidwell students do not stack up well against other dc privates, but rather skate by on their families' status or legacy.
