If everyone is getting accepted to all three of these particular schools, then they’re yield is going to be skewed. I feel like they got it wrong this year because everyone seems to be getting into all three or not at all.

It makes less sense if sta/ncs aren't in the mix. If they are, then you're basically comparing Sidwell, Gds, and the cathedral system.

If by "strong academically," you mean worksheets and rote memorization, you're right. Beauvoir is terrible that way.
Beauvoir offers developmentally appropriate education. My kids loved learning and couldn't wait to go school every day. They got everything they needed to excel at STA and Sidwell. The were intellectually curious, had great critical thinking skills, social skills and confidence. Now in upper and middle school, they all talk about how much they loved Beauvoir.
Your upper school kids talk about their time in preschool?
Those with the most snark usually have the least knowledge.
Really proving many peoples' points that at least half of ppl on here have no idea what they're talking about

Honestly not Beauvoir--go with one that goes through 12th. So much easier to switch out of than into later if you have a change of heart.
Eh, if you want ncs/sta later, it's pretty close to k-12

Sounds like you are trying to save your WL DC a spot at Beauvoir.
The Beauvoir are the kids who go to STA/NCS and nail admissions to multiple ivies.
My kids are too old for Beauvoir. I know parents who sent their kids there and were disappointed.
Could you please elaborate more on why they were disappointed? We get in for K and try to decide.
