High school recommendations from our k-8 school and how should I feel about?

Exmissions data from the K-8 or the high schools? You can go to Dwight’s class of ‘26 instagram and see where they’re going. There’s a UPenn, Univ of Chicago, St. Andrew’s, a bunch of Tulane’s and NYU’s and Univ of Michigan. All good schools. Clearly you can get into a good school from Dwight but if you’re kid does well in high school and the SAT then they have a shot of getting into these schools from a wide variety of places.

I looked at avenues senior decisions - it’s not bad.

Avenues, like FL privates, takes a ton of rich Latin Americans. It boosts the numbers a lot

Sometimes the right school at K is not the right school for high school. Also, what is “bad exmissions”? Would Sacred Heart, Avenues, Grace or Trevor be considered “bad”?

I would consider avenues pretty not great. The others are…. Ok

A good student would consider these outcomes to be less than ideal. Whether they are worth 70k depends on whether you are worth deep into eight figures. A working professional shouldn’t shell out and make sacrifices for Trevor.

op - this is my point. I would never have paid for this school for as long as i did if that was going to be the end result.

The beauty (at least to me) of some of these schools is that there are kids who know from day one that they are not aiming for Ivies. So if your kid enters aiming for Ivies and with a somewhat reasonable chance of getting there, they are not competing with their entire class for spots. It is kind of like going to a good suburban public school. They get plenty of kids into top schools but if you look at the whole school the "average" outcome isn't going to look great.

Yea. Matriculation for college may be maximized. But you’re spending a pretty penny for a 3T school many New Yorkers look down upon (Dwight is not 2T) and that may have a number of idiots in each class. In an extreme example, would you enroll your child in a special needs high school if it meant they’d get into Harvard?

This is toxic. If you are a good student you are a good student. Why does it matter if your peers are not aiming for ivies. Dwight may not be a 2T, but it meets the needs of many families. And it says a lot about you to call kids "idiots".

So is the NYC mentality that kids get more respect if they go to Chapin and then on to Lehigh or SMU, versus Dwight or Avenues and then on to Princeton?

I said a number of idiots, not that every student there is an idiot. There is an idiot at every school. Reading comprehension is important.

Dwight is a face tattoo that even Princeton can’t wash off. Being a rich Latin American admit to Princeton is its own level of sleazy and unqualified. So yea Chapin or Trinity to SMU is more respectable.
