I understood what the PP meant. Seriously, who says "black boys" these days? You sound right out of the 1960s. Why not call them Negros while you're at it?

I will check the directory when I get home.
There were only 4 black boys in the Beauvoir graduating class and only the two at STA now applied to STA.

Great. Can't wait to get your report about the "black boys".

NP. PP the tone of your post implies that you will give the two boys families the once over and share your assumptions. If one or both of these boys' families is headed by a single parent or appears of a lower socioeconomic background will you broadcast that on here?

Not sure how you got that impression. All I meant was that I can double check that I have the numbers right from the directory. I was trying to address the OP's concerns. Whatever.

Aaw! This blows! I get the impression that you were genuinely trying to help but with all of the blatant nastiness found on DCUM at times, PP prob thought you were going to take the thread someplace else. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be nice/ helpful.

I think this is too small [one grade form C] a group to be discussing specific children and parents on DCUM. My son graduated from STA and AA were representative of the whole school. Wide range of incomes and places of residence.

I agree that if you contact STA admissions, you would have a good chance that they would share that information with you. Good luck!

My son is currently in the C Form. Off the toP of my head I can think of 5 black boys of whom 2 are AA (one being biracial), 3 are Africans , one of whom is biracial. Of those boys 2 are from Beauvoir. I am not at home right now but I can double check these numbers when I get home and can l

Why not ask the Admissions Department?

St Albans admit all qualified Beauvoir boys to fourth grade (they probably take away 30 out of the 40 availalbe spots). The few reamaining spots go to siblings, legacies, and the connected families.

What are the characteristics of the AA boys admitted if you have information? Athletic, smart, FA families, world bank famililes???

Can anyone share information regarding the number of AA boys admitted to Form C (Grade 4)? Are they all from Beauvoir? If so how many? How many from other schools? Any information you have would be helpful! Thanks . . .
