[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly think the K-8s results are very, very, class dependent. One of my DC's K-8 classes ended up having some world beaters, with half the class having their pick of top high schools and 20% of the class going on to Ivies. Another DC's class from the same school had very average results both for high school and college placement. [/quote]

The above is true.

It's also true that placement can vary from year to year on factors out of control of the k-8. Like last year with GDS telling nobody they essentially had no spots due to neighborhood issues (they didn't even tell the k-8's this info). Or whether a rising 8th class from the highly competitive schools has a gender heavy group - meaning few spots for that gender. And it's also hard within the k-8 if there are many younger siblings at a certain highly competitive school - meaning - likely to be fewer spots open for others at the k-8 who might like that school.  These all vary year to year.
