The Potomac School - 2016 College List?

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to locate the 2016 Potomac School college acceptance list? I have found it for numerous schools but not Potomac. Any feedback that parents of recent Potomac School graduates could provide regarding the college application/counseling process would also be most appreciated - is it necessary to hire an outside college counselor or is the counseling at the school good enough?

Can you post the other schools as well? Specifically, Cathedral Schools, Sidwell, Holton, GDS, and Maret.

Thanks.

What bearing does a graduate 3 to 7 years out from your kid have on a high school choice?

I've been looking for similar information and so far only found that NCS has posted a list (2016 grads). It's on their Facebook page. I was blown away for just around 70 girls. Very impressive.

Honestly I heard NCS did well--better or as good as previous years but that Sidwell, GDS, Potomac, Holton, and others weren't as good this year as previous years.

Sorry above from a Holton parent

reputation of the high school will effect people attending it which will increase academics if higher caliber kids attend. If the school does well in college admissions, higher caliber kids attend.

Where did you hear that?

You can find the parent reported Sidwell data elsewhere in DCUM. Sidwell does not release this info. They did fine this year. At least 20 to ivies, several to Stanford, and 10 to University of Chicago, I think.

From parents at those schools. Several sources not just one. Flint Hill apparently did better than normal as well.

GDS's matriculation list (or a map) is usually published in the Fall magazine. Here's a link for the Class of 2015.
