[quote=Anonymous]Different kids are different. The best fit school for one student might not be best fit for a different student. Pick the school that is best fit for your DC. It is nearly impossible to sort out to what degree good college placements reflect parents or grand-parents having hooks to particular colleges. This is just as true for a W high school - or Langley HS / McLean HS - as it is for a private school. Our DC would not cope very well with large class sizes. We picked an (unheralded) private with smaller class sizes because that was the best fit for our DC. We do not think that choice will change college admissions odds for DC. We do think it will increase what he learns before college. [/quote]
