What's the sleight of hand? They post where people are going (not just admittances) in one year, better than many other K-8s which only post 5 year matriculations: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXWvShlFmPs/ |

St D St B and Buckley don’t even post 1 or 5 year matriculations. It’s a vague list without numbers. Doubt any are as good as Speyer’s list |

St D posts their entire class in their annual reports which are in the website |

I asked about the religious schools to get a sense of the landscape for K-8 education as some can be a bargain in terms of cost. I wasn’t hoping for someone to make the conversation about Speyer. |

Thank you, I found it. It was buried away from admissions and I see why. It is very lackluster results wise, and definitely way worse than Speyer |

It's hard to make much of one year, especially when a class is about 50 kids. I've looked at the 5-7yr history before, and Saint Bernard's was much better than either Saint David's or Speyer. Whether Saint David's or Speyer was next depended on whether you were talking about private schools only or adding in Hunter/Stuy/BxSci. It was also pretty hard to get confidence in Speyer's stated results, because they included more exmissions than the total number of students. It also claimed 3x the exmissions to Saint Ann's than to Riverdale, which was really weird. I think maybe they were being fluid with acceptances vs. matriculations a couple years ago? It *looks* like they've fixed this now, but it's still hard to fully trust what they say. There are 32 results in the instagram post - is that the whole graduating class? |

Does anyone know if St Bs or Buckley is better than this exmissions wise? |

It is, or is close to the whole class. They have a few who left the year prior for Hunter. Results are impressive if you include SHSAT as targets. |

St Bs exmissions are unbelievably good. That said, they are explained by legacy and aggressive counseling out. They're is notorious for kicking out kids who aren't going to place well, which is a little scary when you're enrolling a 5yr old and don't have Andover legacy. |

Buckley exmissions are definitely better than St D's but with way more going to top boarding schools (might just be a preference difference, as there is typically more competition for city schools). I think St B better than Buckley and St D, but as above poster mentioned, could be due to many legacies.

Is there a list for st b or Buckley? The lack of disclosure is disconcerting |

The thing with St D’s is that a lot of students self select into Catholic schools, plus they are much less aggressive with counseling out that, say, St B’s. So the specific numbers aren’t necessarily comparable. |

That’s a lot of K-8 tuition to end up at Fordham prep or Loyola |

For most St. David's families, it's not a lot of tuition. There is an incredible amount of multigenerational wealth at this school. That some students would choose catholic high schools is about as surprising as there being a contingency of Rodeph Shalom students who choose Heschel. That being said, St. David's is rather catholic-lite and half of the boys are not catholic at all. Many boys are uninterested in catholic high schools and go elsewhere and their exmission results are strong. |

| SILS is the more low key version of St David's. |
