[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're leaving at 8th for a number of reasons. [b]College admissions for non-Lax athletes is disma[/b]l. We can get a similar or better result w the Catholic school DS is heading to.

I don't like the hard left shift of the past 5 years. White boys are no longer their desired demographic as evidenced by their recent Admissions promo video. Grading for equity is the #1 DEI policy and it bothers me. I'm not going to support it with $40k+ annually.[/quote]

Why do you think this is?  Lack of support from the administration or negative view of SSSAS by colleges?  Just wondering as we have a 7th grader that may be interested in SSSAS for high school. [/quote]

A couple of issues - college counseling office is poor. The few elite acceptances that are unrelated to athletics are a result of parents working that system and not SSSAS. The school is making no changes to the office, so I wouldn't expect any improvement in the coming years.

The other issue is that schools that are as academically rigorous as SSSAS tend to practice grade inflation giving their students a better GPA and with today's test optional Admissions, that's a big deal. [/quote]

Thank you for your honest reply.  I'm sorry to hear about both issues, particularly the fact that the counseling office hasn't produced and the school isn't going to make changes.  That is definitely something to keep in mind as we move forward. [/quote]

I’m assuming the above reply is someone from the school given the “we”  wording. So now that this board has your attention, could you  say something about the honest reply of many parents that are concerned about bullying at the school?  Are you you concerned about that?  Or are you only concerned when certain groups of people are socially ostracized or verbally attacked?  What about the constant cyber bullying?  Anyone?? Bueller??
