Have to admit it; the whole Sidwell and GDS really are by far the best privates, using college matriculation as the gauge.

I think the best is actually STA. They have a class of about 75 and get in about 20 kids to the Ivies each year plus up to 10 to Chicago.
There are only about 5 kids each year who attend schools ranked above 50.

If it’s not on Instagram, or some other public platform that doesn’t aggregate results over a period of years, I don’t believe you. Put up or shut up.
What is STA hiding?!?

It’s for those who need to know but I will let you in on a bit of last year. 35 to top 10 schools, 33 to top 30 and 6 to the likes of the University of Oregon, JMU etc. You don’t deserve to know more so be happy with the glimpse you were given.

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.

Anyone who gets the school magazine can see them. You can’t, so you don’t, so you won’t. But the specificity should give your dull mind pause before you make counter claims you know are meaningless.

Best at selecting kids who have a shot at top colleges, perhaps. Kudos to their admissions departments. But are you suggesting those same kids would have gone to a different college had they chosen a different high school? Most would seriously doubt that.

If what you say is accurate then you should really try to get your kid into Sidwell or GDS because they act as an initial screen as to whether your kid has the goods.

Amazing that the top dmv publics are doing just as well if not better than most privates too!

They have 500 plus kids in their grades - there is no comparison with the percentage of the class that goes to top 20 schools.

I think more like 300 plus, still big but not sure about 500 plus at W schools.

Whitman's average class size is around 500. GDS senior class size is 130.

And Sidwell has ~125 students. If Whitman (or any other area public) sends 4x as many students to Ivies and top 25 colleges, then I’ll be impressed. Unless or until that happens, please hush.

This is stupid. Everyone knows that public schools have to take everyone; private schools can exclude the bottom 75% of any class that public schools are obliged to take. Rates of ivy/top schools really isn't a remotely relevant comparison.

gds and Sidwell have large portions of their classes that entered in the lower school so it’s inaccurate to suggest that they’re curating the entire 9th grade class. And let’s not even start the lifer discussion.

Holy Child is once again proving itself to be the standout girls' Catholic.

GDS is the only private showing an early admit to University of Chicago

They have 36 posts. Sidwell only posted 18 but there are more kids who haven’t posted and were accepted to Ivies and UChicago.

You are actually counting and comparing the numbers of posts?

I have a kid who graduated from STA recently and I am really hoping this poster isn’t an STA parent, which is why I am taking the bait and responding (in hopes we all don’t seem so horrible). “Don’t deserve?” Ick.

The Bulletin lists the college matriculations and 35 boys from 2023 did not go to the USNWR top 10 schools. Georgetown and Chicago were the schools that drew the most kids, with 6 each. BC also got 5. Dartmouth and Princeton were Ivies with most kids at 3 each. JMU and Oregon are both on the list. As for insta, the boys don’t care about social media that much, which is why no insta feed (these are all student-run). I have one kid going through process now and all results are fairly similar, public and private. I can say my graduated son and his classmates were happy with their choices (and that I hope those who matriculate from other schools are happy too).

I am guessing it’s a kid but read the room, wise ass people are taking shots at STA so I think wise ass kids are responding accordingly.

You are not allowed to shop at the store so you can’t get the “receipts” Many of the details are actually now here anyway so read them.

Stop posting here, and go study for your upcoming exams. Hopefully, you’ll be able to get into a decent college too (like many of this year’s Sidwell and GDS seniors). Btw, they’re documenting their results
