[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all "Big 3" does not guarantee admission anywhere. Publics always do better in this area. Parents need to do their jobs and have their kids target safeties as well. [/quote] Nah 40 percent of our big 3 went to top 25 colleges or top 20 liberal arts schools. The remainder went to top 30 liberal arts or top 40 university with the exception of one or two. Public can’t come close to that. [/quote] Does no one realize this is a dumb metric considering public covers a much wider range and percentile of abilities, socioeconomics, and even desire to attend college immediately following high school? Further public schools in this area could have a senior class 3x the size of a private school senior class.[/quote] If you can’t compare raw numbers or percentages then how can you possibly arrive at the conclusion that public schools always do better than privates?
