[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a note, as a SFS parent, this board does NOT reflect the craziness of most parents at the school.  Yes, there are handful of super type-A, gunner people (as at any school) but, in my experience, this certainly is not representative of the school.  It's embarrassing that a handful of parents have these discussions on an anonymous board. [/quote]

I agree that there are nice parents. But it is also 100% true that this is not a discussion or question you could ask other SFS parents. It's a weird place that way. And some people that are perfectly nice day to day are digging in hard behind the scenes (purposely not divulging).

There is usually close to zero exposure on "institutional knowledge" for families that were new in 9th (from other parents and from CCO).  Maybe that sort of info is more accessible if you were rising MS family, but probably only if you know a fellow parent whose older child(ren) already graduated and they happen to be willing to share and are trust-worthy.  And of course, you finally know the real story once your child has fully gone through admissions.

By knowledge, I mean - full story on college chances for unhooked high stats kids, how grades/rigor impact this, which colleges are particularly un-friendly (or friendly) to SFS applicants.[/quote]
