Why? It’s a huge accomplishment for these students? And it’s public information.
Because even though public, this doesn't need to be plastered on this site, which is geared towards parents. Do we need to promote their accomplishments on DCUM? Really? It's unnecessary and I would not want anyone's name associated with any post in any thread on this entire board. Especially because the parent's/posters names are hidden. See the imbalance there?
I happen to agree that posting the names is unnecessary to show how many NMSFs from each school which is the point here and so an intrusion on the children’s privacy. I would not argue that it is “promoting” the accomplishment. Are we not supposed to celebrate achievement?

For those of you arguing over numbers, it's actually incredibly difficult to get NMSF in the District. You can only get about 2 questions wrong, total.
I have two kids who are STEM brained and both received perfect math PSAT scores with little effort but were tripped up just enough on the English to miss the cut-off. The kids who can do both are quite exceptional and are also more all-around generalists than kids who are either academically pointy in math or in English. In this day and age this is rare.

Looking at class size, good results for Sidwell, Walls, STA, and BASIS.
Not so impressive for GDS, NCS, Maret, WIS, and J-R.
You must factor in class size for each school to get a better sense of success. For example, I know that Sidwell has bigger class sizes than schools such as NCS, so it makes sense that they have a higher number of finalists.
The percentage of NNSFs is still higher at Sidwell than NCS.
Btw, GDS has slightly larger grades than Sidwell.

DC does have the largest percentage of students awarded Commended though.
That actually helps DC overall count
Yes, but it will always be a small number either way.

Incorrect. The students listed are the ONLY ones that qualified from NCS, GDS, and Maret. Stop trying to make excuses for their low NMSF numbers.

Totally wrong. Stop spreading incorrect information.
Kids are listed by the state/district of their school.
NCS, GDS, Maret, etc. are not on the VA and MD lists.
These are their only semifinalists.

No, you are attributed to the state in which you go to school.
