Isn't this essentially an online school for kids who do intensive sports these days? |
urbanmoms are the most obnoxious people on earth. This actually would be a great school to go, if you want to stay away from obnoxious kids. ![]() |
Show us on the doll where Tuft's hurt you, multiple Tuft poster. |
In reality, it's full of kids from the same demographic. |
I see why old money hates this school. Because this school provides access to the same education as, and similar outcome to, their legacy high school. I would hate it too if I am urban mom. |
Just saw PA Andover in the other post. It seems Avenues outcome is on par with PAA. Yeah, it breaks the exclusivity that once belongs to the upper class. |
No. Emphasis on 50% kids go to t50-t100 schools. |
This school is no comparison to Trinity or Dalton (> 50% to ivy schools). Better outcome than Fieldston and Columbia Grammar. Not sure how it compare with DC big 3 results. Anyone? |
Here's the thing - research is pretty convincing that it really doesn't matter what college these kids go to (or most of our kids go to, for that matter). If you're wealthy enough to be there in the first place, there is almost no difference between a top tier school and your local state school in long-term outcomes. Going to a top tier school really only makes a difference for kids from families that don't already have wealth and connections - first generation college students and some underrepresented minorities. |
Fake news. Saying "research is pretty convincing", without quoting any "research", not even "fake research"! |
Isn't Avenues connected to Whittle, or at one time was? |
On par with big 3. |
Yes, he founded it. He somehow ended up owing them millions of dollars, and after suing him they forced the sale of a huge home he owned in East Hampton. |
Somehow. 🤣 |
Didn't expect that coming. If this really is Whittle's school, their outcome is actually good. Something does not add up. |
