Honey. The good high schools don't need to trot out their anomalous college placements. TC has a graduation rate of under 80 percent.

It's very well known that if you're white and bright you can survive TC and leverage the stigma into a top college placement. But please don't imply that TC is a college prep environment because, really it is not, except for a subset of students. Some of us don't want our children to be in such a cynical education environment.

But, hey, if it makes you feel better to keep yelling "But! Penn! Columbia!" then more power to you.[/quote]

I think you're just baiting the other poster to make yourself feel better about your own decisions.

We're not in Alexandria, but I can assure you that both the privates and the higher-ranked publics let parents know early and often where their seniors are being admitted.   And why is it "cynical" for a school that serves many challenged students to celebrate the achievements of those who have thrived?
