[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holton is the number 1 school of choice for girls at our K-8. I wonder if it’s also popular with other K-8s and if other schools have less of an increase.[/quote]

Which k-8 is this? I think it's interesting a lot of girls are wanting to go to an all-girls school for high school. [/quote]

NP and I don’t know if we are talking about the same school. However, our co-ed k-8 has swung in the direction of girls applying to more all-girls’ schools this year and last year. It’s more similar to how it was pre-2020. Right after the pandemic, it seemed like every kid at our school was chasing lost time and wanted a comprehensive, rah-rah, co-ed, classic high school experience. But the girls at our school found admissions to be way more competitive at those schools than the boys did, and girls with higher stats and better extracurriculars had far worse admissions outcomes than boys. It led to a lot of frustration and confusion. I think the increase in applications to all-girls schools from our school represents girls seeking out a different and maybe more predictable admissions situation. [/quote]
