[quote=Anonymous]Whether public or private school, you don't see a meaningful difference in acceptance rates for top colleges until you get to HS's that really stand out from the pack. That means public magnets (Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, the top magnets in MCPS, TJ, etc.) and really top private schools (Sidwell, the top NE boarding schools, and a couple of others). It's probably under 200 schools. My sense is the top public magnets send kids to top colleges at roughly the same rates as the top private schools. I went to a top NE boarding school (one that is typically ranked as #1 or #2 in the country) and if my kid wants to go to a public magnet school (and gets in), I'll consider her HS education roughly equivalent to what I got.
