[quote=Anonymous]Any schools that doesn't provide a matriculation list that identifies where students actually end up is risking disappointment. Schools have tricks to improve the appearance of the matriculation list, such as " in the past five years students have been ADMITTED to the following schools . . ." to allow listing of all top schools that the one or two superstars were admitted to. Another trick is vague (unverifiable) stats referring to percentages being accepted in to some undefined category of elite schools. These "tricks" create the impression that the school offers a ticket to a better school than the DC might otherwise qualify for. A list that identifies students by name a school attending provides a far more realistic snapshot and real bench-marking. BUT parents of students attending the less impressive schools are sometimes humiliated by such lists.[/quote]
