[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.

[b]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[/b]. [/quote]

I'm confused by this statement. By definition, if a school is academically rigorous, then it does NOT practice grade inflation. [/quote]
