[quote=Anonymous]This wasn't even on our list of why we decided this year it was time to send DK to private for the last years of high school. Quality of teachers/teaching is way above our local public and class sizes are way down - just what our kid seems to need. Most all students are there to learn not goof off like local public. There are many other reasons people choose private that have nothing to do with college placement. However, it just so happens that most kids at said middle tier school do get admitted to top SLACs. As far as Ivies, it's a long shot for most without hooks/legacy status due to sheer numbers.[/quote]
