[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds intriguing, but its graduation rate is 66%, which is a red flag.[/quote]

I'm the PP with the daughter at St. Johns and this was a red flag initially for me too. However, my understanding is it has to do with the number of students who leave after the first year, almost always because they found the things that make the school unique weren't a good fit for them. Almost everyone who makes it to sophomore year makes it to graduation. That's why I stressed that you really need to believe them when they tell you what classes are like, how small it is, how much reading is involved, etc. When my daughter's roommate transferred, she admitted that although she had heard all those things, she assumed it would be more like a "normal" college than it actually was.

Fair enough.  It rather reminds me of my DS’s HS, which is why I’m intrigued.  It looks like 2 grads have been accepted there total in the last 3 cycles, and I don’t think any of them have gone.[/quote]
