[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the most important point here is that the Abbey provides a wonderful education, hands down. College outcomes *can* be one of many measures to evaluate the quality of a high school education, and the school sends enough boys to well-known colleges to affirm that, if that matters to you. But just because boys also go to schools outside the so-called "top tier" doesn't mean they didn't receive a strong, challenging, and inspiring education. Choosing a college is the result of a whole host of variables, tangible and intangible. Schools turned down by last year's graduates include Vanderbilt, Columbia, Berkeley, and Notre Dame (yes, I am a parent). Some of those boys went to schools that might have a perceived lower "brand value" for a number of well-considered reasons. I think they should be applauded for being thoughtful enough to go to a place that feels right for them instead of defaulting to the school with the biggest name. To me, that is evidence enough of a sound education. [/quote]
+1. College outcomes is not a rational reason to exclude it; but there are many, far more important reasons for parents to affirmatively decide to send their DS there.[/quote]
