[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the metric of going downhill is "IVY" college maticulation stats then every private school in the D,C, area is going downhill over the last decade -- including Sidwell, NCS, GDS, Maret and NCS. By the same metric some public schools are going uphill. DCUMMIES can't have it both ways. Decide what going downhill means? "Ivy" matriculation or great opportunities for small classes, extracurriculars like art, music, sports, language and writing?[/quote] Despite this coming from the DCUMMIE poster, it actually makes sense. The exmissions scene is getting tougher -- there was a recent thread about Sidwell having a bad year, and there have been other threads about success at publics. But "downhill" is in the eye of the beholder and if a school continues to be a good match for your kid in any of so many ways that are unrelated to exmission, then it isn't going downhill at all.[/quote]
