[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis may offer something for a certain kind of student, but to suggest that they can "assist" you in getting in to the colleges listed is beyond absurd.  In the six years since the graduating class of 2014, exactly 2 students have gone to Brown (4 total admitted), 2 to Yale, etc.  What is the average class size at Bullis in high school - 125, 150?  So that's out of some 750+ kids over the 6 years.

Selected kids get into good and excellent colleges from all sorts of schools.  Bullis offers nothing special in this area unless you are a D1 recruit in certain sports.  In which case, please select Bullis - you will be afforded all sorts of benefits at the expense of other students, including free tuition and a pass on student behavior.[/quote]

And the percentages of kids going to those schools from public is higher.  [/quote]

Correct.  In the Brown example, compare 4 admits at Bullis since 2014 with 51 from BCC last year alone.  https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-magazine/september-october-2018/where-bethesda-area-high-school-grads-applied-to-college/

Bullis is not a feeder to elite colleges in any stretch of the imagination, but yes, a small portion of students, including student athletes, do go to elite schools.  The school is still a hot mess which should be a far bigger concern to prospective families than whether a few top students do well in college placement.
