[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA as far as I know...in fact Businessweek did an article on the top ivy feeder schools in the U.S. and I believe STA came up as one of the top three. Very intense though, had a child there, it really is survival of the fittest.[/quote] I'm familiar with STA, it's got excellent results but I wouldn't think better than a Sidwell in DC and certainly no better than some of the top day schools in other cities, such as Trinity (NYC); Horace Mann (NYC); Roxbury Latin, Winsor, and Noble & Greenough (Boston area); Harvard-Westlake, Polytechnic School (LA and Pasadena), etc. It varies year by year. Obviously you can tell at a given school that a lot of good students go there (and that they'll generally have good college results) but the exact percentages vary widely from year to year (in part because it is small sample size -- if 4 more kids get into an Ivy from STA that adds 5% on to their percentage for that year).[/quote]
