1) Suggestion: Only look at the last two, pandemic-influenced years. I would think Naviance for public high schools would be more helpful because there are more data points.
2) [b]No parent who sends their kid to Sidwell or a similar private school is okay with their DC going to a college outside the top 50[/b] -- especially parents who start their kid in upper school.

I'm always perplexed by trolls or interested bystanders who enter these chats. You act so surprised by Sidwell and private school parents. I am always surprised that you are surprised. [/quote]

Counterpoint: No parent should send their kid to any high school with an expectation of any sort of "college results" - absolutely no one says that going to a "big 3" entitles a kid to a certain college.

Let's stop with the nonsense.[/quote]

I doubt PP is affiliated in any way with Sidwell, as a quick look at the matriculation list maintained by CCO makes clear that admissions outside the Top 50 is routine.

Let me repeat: No family spends upwards of $200K over four years of high school so their DC can go to a college ranked 90th or whatever. Sure, families can overestimate their chances. But when you see how unhelpful CCO is and you see Virginia kids getting waitlisted at VT you tend to get a bit frustrated. [/quote][/quote]
