[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can this school, that sends 1/4-1/3 of every graduating class to ivy league + MIT/Stanford every year, do nothing right.  Its too mean, its too rigorous, the website is too blah.  People love hating this school.[/quote]

Please post the last 4 years so we can all see if this 1/4-1/3 of each graduating class goes to IVY is actually true.  Would't that be over 20-30 girls every year?  [/quote]

I don't think any of these school post this information for the public.  I think you have to be in the school community to know the stats or know the girls first-hand.[/quote]

1/4 to 1/3 graduates attend Ivy League or Stanford?  You've been misled.  Try 5 or 6 students matriculating at those colleges each year.  [/quote]

Parent of recent NCS grad. IMO, NCS is a superior academic school that really allows girls to flourish in every way. I suspect that Holton and Visitation are similar. I really like that the girls have their own education, which in high school becomes increasing integrated socially and academically with STA. By the time they graduate, they have strong coed friendships, within the setting of an all girls school.  I am not sure there any schools that have this.

With regards to college placement, the web page lists the college matriculations over the past 5 years. I do no think any more than this will or should be posted publicly. As suggested earlier, you can find out this information if you talk to the parents of any high school. The 1/3 to 1/2 quote above is generally true.  This past year's class was about 36% to top tier schools. The numbers are skewed because it is a small graduating class, 72 girls.

I also agree that the NCS web page is sterile and methodical . It was worse years ago. But the web page design had zero influence on our decision to go to NCS. Our daughter graduated well educated and prepared for college, with a cadre of support from her schoolmates and teachers. Personally and as a parent, I liked the tradition, the straightforward nature of the school, the interconnection the girls have with other students of the years above and behind them and with the boys from St Albans.
