[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, this is a coping mechanism of parents in private. My kid’s very good public school gets maybe one kid a year into Yale OR Harvard, some years none. The kid is generally extraordinary (this year, a single kid got in both: a musician winning *global competitions* with perfect grades and SAT scores). Meanwhile excellent kids not at that level get in from private, sometimes a few in a class. Schools take less impressive candidates from private all the time.[/quote] So your answer is yes, private schools do better with college placement, which was what op’s question was.[/quote] I think op was wondering if her kid would have maybe gotten into Harvard if coming from public, and I think that is highly unlikely.
