Did your DMV private do better than Westminster Atlanta?

This forum loves to pretend southern high-schools are all horrible.

Yes, Sidwell did better. I’ll focus on Ivy+ universities here because: (1) they tend to be the most selective, and (2) a lot of schools on Westminster’s list are not popular with Sidwell students (e.g., UGA, GT, WF, etc).

Keep in mind that Westminster’s graduating class is nearly twice as large as Sidwell’s.

Looks like ~ 25% success rate . Means 75% headed to target/safety schools . So for majority of parents Sidwell was NOT a good deal?

STA did better and they have fewer kids.

No, they didn’t. However they did send students to such illustrious institutions as Eastern Arizona College, Ole Miss, and
Elizabeth City State University.

I can see why STA students don’t publicly post their college matriculations, and the school doesn’t highlight (bold) the most frequently attended schools. They don’t want you to know how popular Ole Miss is for these STA good ol’ boys: https://www.stalbansschool.org/academics/college-counseling

Those were all athletes or children of Ol Miss alums. The Mississippi alums probably employ you hence the anger but it’s ok.

Of course STA would have several Ole Miss alumni parents. That definitely tracks.
Btw, an Ole Miss alums employing me is a hilarious thought. I’m an attorney and I’ve never even met an attorney who graduated from that embarrassing excuse for a university (at least not that I’m aware of—thankfully!).

You are probably just a drone doing government contracts who would not recognize a creative person or someone in politics if they hit you in the head.

Are you also the racist with a problem with Elizabeth City as well?

You’re calling someone racist yet you send your child to STA. It’s the only DC private I’m aware of that has an openly MAGA faculty member.

Btw, only a racist would think that Elizabeth City State University was a suitable college for a student who has received a supposedly elite and rigorous high school education. That university has a 74% acceptance rate! You’re telling me he couldn’t get recruited by a better HBCU, like Howard and Morehouse?
Smh—the soft bigotry of low expectations.
You’re telling on yourself, Karen.

The kid went there to play football. Perhaps those other schools didn’t recruit him. You are a know it all that knows nothing. Quite foolish and weak.

Was just at an STA event and spoke to two more kids: Yale and Columbia for them. That’s now 10 Ivys from just the subset of kids I know.

The DC area has so many great schools and the students are spread out among them. There’s no Big 3 in Atlanta - no way Lovett or Pace come close. So you have the top ATL students mostly concentrated in one school. It’s not surprising Westminster does very well.

The Westminster results aren’t even particular impressive, when you account for the class size. Why did you bother posting them op?

I hope he also went there to get an education.
If so, he couldn’t manage to get recruited to play football at better HBCUs than ECSU?That’s not even the best HBCU in Maryland.

10 Ivies is nothing to brag about. Move along.

Keep in mind that at Westminster or any other strong private in GA, there are kids who could have gone to private T-10’s but opted for free tuition at UGA or GA Tech.

Why is there a thread about some random school in Atlanta?

I don’t care about any of them. Take it to the Florida sub forum.

Was staying quiet on this one, but I agree. This thread is off-topic, and the Westminster results aren’t even special.

No it is not. RE is factory of full pay URMs and Ivies eat it up. If they were not URM they would have worse stats than Westminster.

Ha! Atlanta kids don’t want to attend Emory. It’s mostly a graduate school, isn’t a traditional college environment and most importantly…

It’s called “Long Island University of Atlanta.”

Wealthy southerners have 0 interest in Emory.

They have about as much interest in Emory as wealthy DC private school kids have in Georgetown or wealthy Philadelphia private school kids have in Penn.

It has nothing to do really with the school, but rather if you are full-pay private, you want to experience a new place.

I would note Lovett also has I think 3 or 4 kids going to Emory.

A lot of kids from Chicago privates go to Northwestern and UChicago.....why is that?

I doubt they do...I just looked at a school called Lake Forest Academy in Chicago and it shows 4 kids going to Northwestern and 0 going to Chicago.

Ranked #1 private school by Niche...though I have absolutely no idea what that means in the scheme of things.

That's in the burbs. Its ehhh.
The best Chicago private schools are actually in the city proper; they are the Latin School of Chicago, the University of Chicago Lab School, and Francis Parker. St. Ignatius is also rising.
In the suburbs, North Shore Country Day in Winnetka is good. I think Lake Forest Country Day is good. And Loyola Academy always sends a boatload of kids to ND and NU.

Chicagoan here. And my kids go to one of these schools.

Lake Forest Academy has been an excellent school for decades - on the highest end of number of National Merit Scholars in the Chicago area privates. One main difference, however, is that it is a boarding school with about 30% international students. Lake Forest Country Day does not have a high school. St. Ignatius in Ohio has routinely 20+ national merit scholars!

Interesting thread. It's a big world

Perhaps he is from North Carolina and doesn’t care about Maryland. Admit you are a racist know it all fool. Very silly. The 10 is just from the subgroup of about 25 I know. I am quite confident there are more. Now get back to your Nash and Cibinic.
