[quote=Anonymous]I disagree. The admissions of the last few years were weaker than this year. I am actually impressed with this year's outcomes. And “other schools in the area did as well” is a vague and likely uninformed description of outcomes. Which school, what percentage at top 20? Unclear.

I have girls at Holton. While not perfect, there is not another all-girls school we would pick today. We have enjoyed a lot of benefits of all-girl education (academic) and some downsides (social). Spoiled rich girls are equally unstinted to world reality at at the girls schools, but academics are better at some, than the others.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a HA parent. But in looking at the college matriculations for this cycle, something appeared off. It’s not the HA of even a few years ago.[/quote]

The college admission results are almost identical to previous years (about 20 percent of girls going to HYPSM, Duke, UChicago, UPenn, Cornell, Brown, Northwestern). This year’s class was very strong academically. But, compared with previous years, there were very few athletes going to top schools.

The impact on college admissions will take awhile to play out. [/quote]

Not really. Past classes have been stronger. The range of matriculations was more top 20 heavy compared to now.

Other all-girls in the area have done just as well, if not better this cycle. Visi and SR are strong this year. The Co-Ed’s = very impressive.

Either other schools have upped their college counseling, or Holton is lackluster. But still a great school.[/quote][/quote]
