OK, as far as I know, no one has requested it before. I'll try to add it.

If you know which schools you're applying to, there's no reason I can see to wait on posting data. If you're still deciding and unsure about whether you're applying, then maybe you want to wait on listing those schools. But ultimately, it's your choice on what and when you post. The form is there whenever you're ready to use it.

Add The McLean School? It gets a lot of commentary here. Commonwealth Academy in Alexandria? We are there now and like it a lot. Both go through high school.

Here is the survey form for 2012-13. This tracks only applications, and not results. Please be considerate of others. Sorry it took so long to bring this live; real life intruded.

Hi: I entered application results for my son as I received them last year. I have a suggestion to improve the current set up. In order to avoid multiple counting, the users should be explicitly prompted to enter only the new results. Otherwise only the latest result will be entered once.

+1

I have a public school student now but we are applying to private for middle school.

You could add boarding school (in general) on the list. In addition to local privates, we have applied to a couple of boarding schools. I'd be curious if there are others who did the same.

I would suggest to keep bullis and group pk-1, 2-5, 6-8, 9-12

See update below.

Sam2 wrote:Assuming there's still interest, I'll post a survey of where people are applying for the 2012-13 cycle. Here is a link to last year's survey and the resulting discussion, in case you want to read the history - http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/208468.page . Before I finalize the survey, I need some input.

1. A few people made the good suggestion to break up the results by grade, because they really are different cohorts. I'm planning to break them into three groups: PK-K, 1-8, and 9-12.

2. I'm planning to adjust the list of schools per the lists below. Let me know if you really want to save one of the ones I'm planning to drop.

Here are schools I'm planning to include:

GDS
Sidwell Friends
Beauvoir
St. Patrick's
Maret
Potomac
Washinton International School (WIS)
Sandy Springs Friends
St. Albans
Washington Episcopal School (WES)
Lowell School
Norwood
Primary Day
Sheridan
Stone Ridge
Langley School
Nat'l Presbyterian School
Concord Hill
Green Acres
Holton-Arms
NCS
Burgundy Farm
Flint Hill
Grace Episcopal
British School
Capitol Hill Day School
Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School
Edmund Burke
Field School
Gonzaga
Landon
Mclean School of MD
St Stephen & St Agnes
Alexandria County Day

And here are ones I'm planning to drop, because no one responded for them last year:

Bullis
Edlin
Emerson Prep
Feynman School
Friends Community School
G'town Prep
G'town Visi Prep
Madeira
Nysmith
St. Anselm's
St. John's
Woods Academy
Browne School
Congressional Schools of VA
Green Hedges School
Maddux School

Other suggestions welcome, so long as they don't make the project too complicated.


Update: Here is the survey form for 2012-13. This tracks only applications, and not results. Please be considerate of others. Good luck this season.
