[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a fine list, but compared to STA/NCS, Sidwell and GDS the middle 50% seem to be going to schools that would be the bottom 25% at these other schools. This matches with the number of NMSFs/Presidential scholars at Holton vs the other top schools at least this year, but in these small schools, there can be a lot of variability from year to year, particularly for schools that start with PK/K like Sidwell/GDS, and 3rd or 4rth for Holton and NCS/StA.  Kids mature at different rates, and apply themselves differently, hard to predict how a 5-9 year old will be performing in 7-10 years. [/quote]

I'm pretty familiar with Sidwell's college placement record and I'd say that it looks similar for the middle 50%.  Your point re variability from year-to-year is well-taken, however.  [b]Actually, what strikes me most is that the school paper publishes a list of where all the grads are going,  not to mention that the school itself has a link to the article on its website. [/b]     [/quote]I thought same thing!  Nothing to hide but not so sure I'd want DC's name/college published for the world to see.  Holton should be proud of its accomplished seniors but that's going a bit too far.  Then again, we don't know if every senior gave the school permission to post that information.[/quote]
