[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at CGPS IG - I just don't see how it's considered 4T.  If it's 4T then the college placement staff needs raises.

from the looks of IG page roughly 55% go to elite/T30 school and probaby another 25% go to T50 school.  [/quote]

I think it was omitted then added as 3T. Which is more accurate.[/quote]

its very good placement for a school that widely is viewed negatively here.[/quote]

Part of the reason it is viewed negatively is the types of families there. I know some wonderful people there - don't get my wrong. But I also know a disproportionate number of people who are not my types. And I am not alone. And I am particularly not putting up with that for a non-TT school that has good/very good but not great exmissions.[/quote]

You can hate the families but that doesn't mean the school sucks.  Feel like many can't separate the two.

I would guess Fieldston would be the other end of the political spectrum.  someone might hate it politically but acknowledge the good teaching/college matriculation[/quote]

No one said the school sucks. It is a very solid 3T - closer to 2T than 4T but 3T. Think you're just getting a little defensive as a MAGA in NYC. No one said this is political. Some of the people I know there who I can't stand are hard core Democrats. Though the school likely does skew more R than most.

To your bigger point which I agree with but you could have made more eloquently, and as many of us have been trying to say, you need to know the culture of the school. Different schools draw different crowds. Different grades within the same school might have different crowds, and it is hard to get that granular.[/quote]

I agree with the commentary on the type of parents - so not being defensive in that regard.  Sorry if it came across that way.   The question is do people view it as 4T because of the political views of the parents/school or the actual education/college outcomes.

and for the record I am not a MAGA![/quote]

Sorry - I get a bit defensive and angry because unfortunately there are so many awful posters here so I assume the worst.

But again, no one views it as 4T. Maybe one person said that. I think it is pretty unanimously 3T. Which is not influenced by political views or anything else. It is what it is. They are pretty clear cut.[/quote]
