[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really sorry.  9th is so hard and Covid grading inflated GPAs so that almost everyone had straight As.  I think the pool of "top" applicants was very large.

My kid made it in to a top school for 9th last year and it's been ok.  My other two are in public.  I really think I have a good perspective on the options and the private has just as many flaws as the public (different but just as many and we get to pay $50K for them). We are constantly wondering if we made a mistake. I mean, constantly.  We signed the contract for next year and are still wondering if we should walk (and head back to public) in June when we're locked in.

Above post is the most relevant response in this thread thus far. There is a post in another thread by a parent of multiple private school kids who shares that other than at one of their children’s top private, they found in their experience the other privates left them wondering if they had any added value benefit over public.

We are blessed with terrific educational resources in our area. Your DC seems well grounded and likely to succeed no matter what. Celebrate and take comfort in that as you work through your disappointment. [/quote]
