[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not in the DMV. Our K-12's college outcomes become more dismal each year. Yes, everyone heads to a four-year college, which we assumed was enough, but many of them aren't highly ranked and become less so each year. We're not looking for Ivy or even T20, but a college people have actually heard of would be nice. The only thing keeping us here is the lack of violence, drugs, and bathroom sex that you find in our local publics. Is anyone else in this situation? Our kids are bright but not gifted and borderline bored in school, and I keep wondering if they'd do better in a larger school, bathroom sex and all. [/quote] I wouldn't sweat it - what's probably happening is that your school is getting more "ordinary" students who are pushed away from the public for obvious reasons, which brings down the average achievement.[/quote]

Actually, colleges now view private school students as “privileged” and limit the number accepted, while prioritizing those with “hardship”.

But actual education matters more than the name of your college.  Send your kids where they will learn the most and develop the best skills.[/quote]
