There goes your answer.

Again, you cannot compare co-ed and single-sex college placements.

There are significantly more qualified girls applying to college, making it significantly harder for girls to get in.

Given all of that, this year's Holton college placement is excellent.

And they had the highest number of NMSF of any private school in the region by a lot.

Not like the other schools are cheap, but Holton is $7,000 more expensive than GDS when you add the middle school bus. It is not insignificant.
