I know nothing about how this works. Is it just PSAT?

JR is huge and lots more students than the other 4 schools above them and only had 1. i would have expected better.

I actually would expect elite privates like Maret to have more than 1 and for Visitation and Anselms to have more than zero.

Number of Presidential Scholars is a better metric in general (high SAT score in one sitting).

This list is a reprisal of the 16 student fall 2020 virtual Deal 8th grade Algebra 2 class. One is at JR. The rest left for greener pastures.

My kid is in this grade and just about all the smart kids left after Deal and went elsewhere.

There was a Deal algebra 2 class of 16 kids who were the top of the Deal grade. 15/16 went to high schools other than JR: Walls, Sidwell, GDS, St. Albans, etc. Those 16 are almost all on this NMSF list.

+100. And why they are the top charter picks EOTP for majority of families.

It's a very good sign. My kid just started at one of these and he has friends who started at the other two, feel hopeful for all their futures (not that they will become a NMSF necessarily, but that the upper limit is high.)

JR sucks. Very little to no learning going on.

Good results from BASIS since they only had 49 kids in that class. So, more than 6% of the class are NMSF!

None from Visitation or St Anselms which is odd.

Congratulations to them!!!

I must say I'm surprised only one from Jackson-Reed and none from Burke.
