[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This list is not an advertisement for the high school. It is a congratulatory note to children who have just competed 12'years of schooling.[/quote]

It is a congratulatory note that lists the colleges to which they have been accepted.

The kids did great - I'm happy for all of them.

But when I look at the list to evaluate Latin, I see three of the USNWR top 50 schools overall (Case Western Reserve, U of Rochester, Penn State), four of the top 50 liberal arts colleges  (Barnard, Colby College, Lafayette, Oberlin, Denison), and three of the top 50 public schools (U of Maryland. Rutgers, Vermont) .

To me that does not look great - I'd like to see more highly rated schools.  But maybe I am missing something.  (And yes, I know the USNWR ratings are not the be-all and end-all of lists).

Pp, you clearly run a tight ship. Do know that a lot of adolescents shrug off parental guidance like yesterday's unfashionable clothes. You may come to value a school that treats your teen as a person, not a stat, and values them as much as you do.

Tell me you don't know the U.S. News rankings by heart. [/quote]

Of course I don't.  I went and looked them up so I could provide some actual factual information for this thread instead of ridiculous and unprovable banter about how kids at Latin love learning so much and their families cry when they leave.[/quote][/quote]
