[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Where are the "cohort of high achievers" who did not get into application HSs or good privates going? (Real question, not snark -- we are considering SH but stress about HS path and want to know how this actually work for families -- we cannot afford private and I know that HS applications are a bit of a crapshoot and there are talented kids with great grades and high PARCC scores who get shut out. I am curious what they wind up doing because if we go, that could be us.)[/quote] I don't think there are talented kids with great grades getting routinely shut out of Banneker. Definitely not from McKinley. If your standard is Walls and nothing else, then yes, it is a crapshoot and you need a plan B. [/quote] McKinley definitely won't turn you away, but if you are not interested in STEM, that might be an issue.[/quote] McKinley accepted 20% of those who applied according to the stats. They're turning someone away.[/quote]
