Anyone surprised by any of the privates' success or lack thereof?


The surprise is that none have really done as well or at least better than Churchill which is public!


The Asians and South Asians are cleaning up this year in these post-Supreme Court decision times. The privates can't compete because they don't have many Asians and those they have were not necessarily the highest achievers in their feeders schools (prior to coming to private).
(Not Asian myself but calling a spade a spade---look at all the Instagrams--it is clear!!)

Are you saying that prior to the Supreme Court decision, they'd have been "screened" out?


yes--absolutely. It's clear on almost every Instagram page.
I've been obsessively watching these pages for the past 2-3 years and there is a definite shift this year.

I'm not posting this to start yet an endless debate about how college admissions should be handled but there is a noticeable uptick in Asians this year---at my 2 kid's private schools and pretty much on every Instgram post
both here and in other cities (I follow others as well).


Interesting. Anecdotally, the two Harvard admits I know personally are Asian/So Asian.



That's because they are smarter.


Are they really?!?! Or are they supplementing for everything and overscheduled with super tiger moms!

Funny thing about this board. No one has a prefrontal cortex.

+1. They’re definitely not smarter. There’s research on this fact. People post the most ignorant and intellectually lazy statements on the internet.

YOU can post the DC publics here, on the public school forum: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/forums/show/32.page

Or…common folk, like you, can return to the forum for the masses (AKA, the public school forum). I know that you like it better over here, but you really don’t belong.

You keep trying to convince us, and yourselves, that you’re “receiving a private school education for free.” However, the truth is that you’re receiving what you’ve paid for: a public school education for free. That’s why, on average, the outcomes are different. Despite your trespassing on this thread, our experiences are not the same.

lordy, you reek of insecurity.

You’re projecting. If I was insecure, I would post the college admissions results from my children’s private school in the public school forum.

Does that level of insecurity sound familiar?

What a racist stereotype. The most uber tiger mom I know is white. She screams at her kids for not winning the top grades and academic prizes. They talk about her abuse to their friends. They’re angry, whipped, sadly f***ed up kids. They’re bright but not the brightest. She is relentless in demanding that they have to be the best whatever that means.

At the Big 3 if you need supplementation to excel you will fall behind. Too much work being assigned to have time to supplement and still be on top. It’s something you do only if you can’t get a subject on your own.

NP here. I appreciate the public schools for comparison. Downthread there were also links to SWW, JR and TJ. Parents are weighing all options and should aim to make the best decision possible, especially with the 50k price point.

Did the mod let you into the super exclusive forum and give you a No Trespassing sign to add to your posts?

Private school is an investment. There are other factors, beyond college matriculation, that are involved in choosing privates.

Wow: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthebulldog2024/


School that is 32% Asian has Asian admits. Unbelievable.

What did last year look like? And the year before?

This is the private school forum. Can we take off public school instragrams? We had no interest in sending our kids to public school and have no interest in their college admittances. Thank you.


Others apparently are interested. Are you being forced to click on something?

Not PP but I’m guessing it’s very hard to see Churchill and Whitman’s (just two examples) college matriculations if you’ve spent hundreds of thousands or more on privates
.


I don't even know where Churchill is or what it is? Where is it?

All ya need to know is right here. These matriculations create a jaw drop. It's a wow-factor W: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthebulldog2024/
