[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is at NCS. 
From what I can tell: 
20% Ivies 
10% U of Chicago
10% other top 20 universities
10% top 10 liberal arts colleges
Etc.
That is 50% of the class into TOP20 colleges/universities. Minimum.

Even with the deflated GPAs (well under 4.0), almost no APs, etc.

STA is similar. 
Sidwell has pretty much gotten the entire class in top50 schools.  
GDS is a bit uneven.

How exactly are the grades "deflated"? Public schools might inflate grades, but that doesn't mean independent ones deflate them.[/quote]

Are you new here?  Most of the more academics rigorous private schools here pride themselves on giving out significantly less As than area public’s.[/quote]

What school prides itself on "giving" students FEWER As? Methinks this is a bit of projection on your part. The point remains: it's the grade inflation at public high schools that is the problem.[/quote]

You are wrong.  The private high schools schools have grade inflation much higher than public schools.  It’s been documented over and over.   Even if they didn’t inflate their grades, which they do, the obsessive parent will have their average kid tutored until he does average work for that school which will be an A.   How naive to think high priced schools that are businesses would be allowed to give a student a C when their parents just donated a field.  [/quote]

Do average work and get an A? Hahahahahahahaha....[/quote]
