[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chapin has a 34% ivy acceptance rate over for years which is also great…. That’s just scooting to ChatGPT so that is very unofficial. LOL[/quote]

Matriculation or acceptance? That percentage seems really high considering their performance in the last 2-3 years  [/quote]

Finally someone sane. I am blown away by the recent comments - choosing K based on Ivy acceptance stats? Focus on where your child will thrive as a person, become a good human, and be happy.  Academics are of course important but the majority of these schools will prepare your child academically. [/quote]

To be fair, the thread is about “best private schools in NYC based on college acceptances” (according to OP on the first page).

Some parents I know tend to go for local non-TT schools for elementary and make a switch to TT for middle or high school when academics becomes more important. I am currently thinking whether I should look into changing schools for DD. There are cons (separation with friends, longer commute) so I am wondering whether the additional academic rigor and extra workload are indeed worth it.

Perhaps, I can also ask a question - how many hours a day do TT kids spend on homework in middle and high school?[/quote]

It depends on the kid. My middle schooler (Trinity) is very efficient and uses the built in work time in the school day wisely. Often comes home with little/no homework minus studying for a quiz/test or working on a long-term project or paper. Do peers follow suit? Some, not all. [/quote]
