[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]K-8 schools should be graded on the same scale as K-12 schools. Some of the K-8 schools prepare their kids so well that they often become top of their class in high school. People are starting to see the real benefit of K-8 and that’s one of the reasons why it was extremely competitive (especially all-boys) this year.

Which would be the “TT” K8? In terms of exmissions, academics and competitive to gain admission. I can only think of St B and maybe Buckley[/quote]

St B sounds right [/quote]

St Ignatius but a niche audience[/quote]

Lol[/quote]

They have the single largest number of boys attending Regis every year and an equivalent number going on to Exeter, Lawernceville, etc. They also have lower acceptance rates than St B's, St D's and Buckley. Does that not qualify?[/quote]

It does not.  Stop trying to make St. Ignatius as a TT happen.  Please.[/quote]

Bitter much, lol. Our TT PSD would disagree given the statistics, with the caveat that the non-connected acceptance rate is artificially low because of the price point/some other admissions policies. No horse in the race, we are at St D’s as we did not want a parish school but the truth is the truth. [/quote]

Non-connected acceptance rate?  You mean, like connected to St. Ignatius specifically?  Like alumni or something?  Real connected people in NYC do not send their kids to St. Ignatius.  Lol.[/quote]

As a third-generation New Yorker who has actually sat in admissions meetings, I can tell you that you are categorically incorrect.

The original question was about TT acceptance + exmissions rates on a non-connected basis, and the facts I gave are accurate. Even a tiny feeder like Caedmon still sends a higher percentage of its graduating class to Horace Mann than the K-8s mentioned.

Where do you think prominent Irish-Catholic families like the Maras sent their kids for elementary? St. Ignatius has been the default for many of these NY families for generations.

Happy to be corrected with actual data, but I’m done. Cheers.[/quote]
