Potomac also did very well. |

I have daughters so I don’t care how STA students do. However, you’re on this thread pulling numbers out your backside with zero proof. Provide receipts or scurry along. Your word is worthless. |

At most 4 unhooked Ivy. Is that good right now? I guess it is. |

It's still too early to make this statement. Only those that continue to insist there is a "big 3" will say this. For example, looking at 2023 results, GDS and Sidwell did similar to Maret for example. Not a parent of either but it's just silly to attribute results solely to the school and not self selection with deeply connected and privileged kids.

| No NCS? |

| Do any schools share where their students matriculate? It seems to me that it is the value-added that makes a difference in terms of judging a school's effectiveness. If a school takes only the most competitive kids...guess what? Are any schools overperforming? That's what I want to know as a parent of a rising 8th grade kid. |

They don't share until spring. The top girls have done really well this year. What will be interesting is how the girls ranked below the top 20% in the class do. In recent years it's been spotty because NCS grading is harsh. Once you get below a 3.7 (which is a large portion of the class) admissions have been pretty dicey for many girls. NCS also does not have the sports recruits of Holton or Stone Ridge. Those schools will likely both end up with 10 recruits (or more) while NCS currently has 1 and to my knowledge, no others on the horizon for 2024. |

The idea that people are seeking out the private school forum specifically to post about public schools is laughable. Let me enlighten you. Jeff covered this thread in his daily summary. And many of us scroll through recent posts or hottest topics and land here as a result. |

Usually can be found in class profiles or school Fall issue magazines. Some are more transparent than others. Just google "XYZ class of 2023 class profile" and something should come up.

Whatever,
I took a look at Whitman and Churchill. These are publics that take everyone. And they did very fine. A couple of thousand random kids. And they are placing very well. |

Uchicago came out thirty seconds ago. Not everyone/every school immediately posts results on insta. The people making observations about how “well” schools are doing based on those posts need to chill.

These posts on insta are the students’ commits (athletic or otherwise as they’ve officially heard from the college/university via ED or EA admissions). In other words, this is the real time matriculation list for the kids who choose to share that info with whatever kid is running their school insta account (my DS is on the fence about doing that because his good friends have not been as fortunate thus far in the EA/ED round). |
