[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's concerning that NPS sends girls, especially, to so few schools. Last year not a single girl continued to a coed school? And this year three quarters of the girls to Holton? Is that really the best fit for all of those girls? I think it speaks to the homogeneity of the NPS community, which is pretty self- fulfilling, I suppose. The school is full of a certain type of family, which attracts more of that same type of family, which are all happy with the same outcome.[/quote]

Could those girls want to continue studying with their friends from NPS? Is that bad? Maybe, just maybe, the school has done a good job at fostering a strong culture of friendship between these kids? [/quote]

Well, I didn't think it was so terrible when I assumed that each kid and their family chose the school they thought was the best fit. It it is indeed "bad" (your word, not mine) if they are choosing a school because that is where their friends are going. Holton is a great school, but that's besides the point, which is that it's curious that so many girls are heading to the same school, and that in recent years NPS has sent girls to a limited number of places.

I am less familiar with St. Patrick's outplacement, but there are more schools available to ninth graders than to seventh graders, so I imagine that factors into differences, too.[/quote]
