This forum loves to pretend southern high-schools are all horrible.

Yes, Sidwell did better. I’ll focus on Ivy+ universities here because: (1) they tend to be the most selective, and (2) a lot of schools on Westminster’s list are not popular with Sidwell students (e.g., UGA, GT, WF, etc).

Keep in mind that Westminster’s graduating class is nearly twice as large as Sidwell’s.

Looks like ~ 25% success rate . Means 75% headed to target/safety schools . So for majority of parents Sidwell was NOT a good deal?[/quote]

STA did better and they have fewer kids.  [/quote]

No, they didn’t. However they did send students to such illustrious institutions as Eastern Arizona College, Ole Miss, and 
Elizabeth City State University.

I can see why STA students don’t publicly post their college matriculations, and the school doesn’t highlight (bold) the most frequently attended schools. They don’t want you to know how popular Ole Miss is for these STA good ol’ boys: https://www.stalbansschool.org/academics/college-counseling[/quote]

The Eliz City student was a Black football player who wanted to play in college.  You go picking on an HBCU and a kid’s dreams.

STA lands 7 to Yale one year, 5 to Princeton the next with the full complement of top schools and always a couple Harvard, Dartmouth’s, MIT, and Stanfords, ever year.  There are also almost always 5 or more to Chicago.

They don’t post bc they don’t want or need to.  [/quote]

As an STA parent, don’t insult my intelligence with your feeble attempt to pretend that you care about HBCUs. Elizabeth City State University is a mediocre university, at best. Period. Too bad that student wasn’t able to realize his sports dreams at a more reputable HBCU like Howard, Morehouse, Hampton, Tuskegee, etc.

Btw, STA didn’t send that many students to Yale or Princeton, in a single year, in the modern era. Perhaps in a bygone era when the Bush boys and their ilk were making gentlemen's Cs, but certainly not now. UChicago I believe—they love full pay private school students who commit early. [/quote]
