[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What type of high school are you aiming for ? As long as you are in a good K-8, outplacement will really depend on the kid. For the top tier schools ( Big 5) , kids who are elite athletes, kids who are ridiculously bright ( think a kid who developed an app or won some robotics competition) , or bright kids who bring some type of diversity will do well with outplacement. [/quote] I just don’t believe this. This was Norwood’s placement last year: https://www.norwoodschool.org/program/high-school-placement By my count, 22 of out of the 48 kids went to a top tier school: GDS — 2 Prep — 1 Holton — 4 Landon — 2 Maret — 2 NCS — 1 Potomac — 2 Sidwell — 5 STA — 3 People will say some of these aren’t top tier, but they’re all very strong. I don’t believe all these kids fell into the categories PP listed. How many 8th graders have developed an app anyway?! [/quote]
