[quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader DS is shaping up to be an exceptional athlete in a number of sports. I have had some of his rec and travel team coaches, as well as trying to be helpful parents, pull me aside and suggest we take him out of our private school and send him to either our public (a large, well-respected MoCo school) or some other independent, but not Big-3 schools which have more of a sports reputation. They say that the opportunity to get recognized by recruiters is better in those settings. They also say that our Big-3 school simply does not have the reputation or the history for having their alums get recruited to play college athletics, in any sport, at any level. We love our school. But yes, I do worry that staying put may limit our options. I would love to hear from families who have had kids recruited out of their Big-3 type school to play sports at the college level, including type of sport, and type of college (big, small, medium). Thank you.[/quote]
