[quote=Anonymous]We're still a year or two out from applying, but I already read this board. Yes, Tiger Mom in the making. My .02 from observing other discussions is that your best advertising is likely to come from the guidance counselors working with the kids headed out the door. That is, since your school only goes to 8th grade, then exmissions are likely to matter a great deal. While some parents know that they want public high school for their kids, my sense is that most folks who put their kids in private school at a young age do so with an expectation of continuing through high school. Therefore, if I see your school is $25k/yr but the kids graduating are pretty much headed back to their local publics or large parochial high schools, then do I feel like it was money wasted. Or, are your kids headed to high schools considered to be top -- whether it be top public like TJ or top private like Holton Arms or St. Alban's. [/quote]
