Blair… kind of amazing. 100 kids = 22%. That is raw talent.

I just really don’t like WIS for the money. Maybe I’m wrong. I’m very suspicious of the schools that have to advertise

I think we can be happy for any school for their success. Let’s not be quite so insecure.

Does WIS have the most in the DC/VA/MD area?


Looking at 2022, proportionally, Sidwell beats pretty much all high schools, public or private.

Sidwell 19
GDS 8
Wilson 7
STA 11
WIS 4
NCS 4
TJ 30
SWW 6


So in 2023 WIS is the new Sidwell?


Hahaha

They competed. They just were just far behind local public schools and privates such as WIS.

Sidwell: 6
GDS: 4
NCS: 2
STA: 4


Maret: 5

It’s important to note, most of these schools are like 90-100 per grade.


Thanks for Mart info. What about SAES in Potomac, Whitman in Bethesda, and Potomac School in VA?

And what about Georgetown prep?

Did you include Washington DC proper, Maryland, and Virginia, or just Washington DC?

And all of the kids speak a second language. There isn’t any other school in the area like it to really compare it to in terms of its success and what it offers. People always talk about the big three. But this is a school that remains under the radar, but seems to produce excellent results.


Perhaps not a school that you have to pay $50k a year for, but the IB program at Richard Montgomery in MCPS runs laps around WIS and is free.


12 RM kids are PSP candidates on the 2023 list, 14 in 2022, 15 in 2021, 15 in 2020… pretty consistent.



8 for Washington International School on the 2023 list, 4 in 2022, 1 in 2021 and 4 in 2020...also pretty consistent other than this year's outlier.
