[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It was buried a page or two in, not on the front page. The student newspaper has been publishing the list for years. What's to hide?[/quote]I didn't come away with the impression that the school was trying to hide the list but rather the poster's daughter had nothing to hide but mom still wouldn't want personal info posted.  I guess it's like looking at an abstract painting and each one interprets differently.[/quote]
