[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact is that Maret kids get into similar colleges as Sidwell kids, and by largely the same proportion to ivies and top 10 schools (10-15%). So, there is really no difference between the two in terms of rigor and certainly in terms of outcomes. [/quote] OP wants rigor and testing. I would say many different approaches can lead to good outcomes, but that's what OP wants.[/quote] But again -- what tests are we talking about here? Since private schools don't participate in state tests, the only conclusion I can come to is we're talking about SATs and APs. That gives limited insight into academic rigor and only applies to high schools. How are you all comparing K-8 schools, or the K-8 years in the K-12 schools? My suspicion is you're doing it based on perception, with really no objective data behind your conclusions. [/quote]
