[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both schools are very nice. The absolute bottom of the class at Visi goes to worse colleges than the absolute bottom at Holton. I had never heard of some of those schools some of the Visi girls went to. My husband worked with many folks who sent their kids to Visi. They must not have had smart kids...5 or 6 went to "no name" type colleges. Whereas, everyone from my DD's class at Holton went to great places. Visi does have bigger classes...so maybe they stretch more on the bottom end to admit some girls who may not belong there.[/quote]

Do you think some of those "no name" schools are well know in the Catholic community, but perhaps not in your community?  Holton's website indicates they have students that go on to:  Goucher College, Point Park University, Hillsdale College, and Beloit...just to name a few.  Or maybe you consider Rollins in FL a "name" school.  I think you can major in waterskiing if you go there.

So I'm not sure what kind of "name" the PP is talking about, but girls graduate from both schools and go to outstanding colleges including Ivies, liberal arts schools all across the country, and challenging state schools in our area.  That has more to do with the girl than the school since both are outstand college prep schools.  To me it sounds, especially based on PP, that Holton affiliated folks are more elitest?  Just a thought to ponder.

Their lists looks very similar and links are below

If you READ Holton's  list you would see that the schools the girls actually attended are in bold print.  Only one girl matriculated at ONE of the schools you listed. [/quote]
