[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the point is that some kids were shut out.

On the question of the dedicated outplacement counselor: it's certainly helpful, though not mandatory. This is only Sheridan's first year with one. The person doing the job was leading the outplacement team in previous years while also teaching.

The bottom line is k-8s need to get this right to be able to stay viable. That doesn't mean that all kids go to Sidwell or GDS but that all kids go to where they want to go. The great thing about applying for HS is that the criteria expands. Parents are a lot more narrow minded when choosing a school in K. Then they later realize that jr. is a hockey prodigy in a school with no team. Or that DD wants to play volleyball but her K-12 school is last place in the state. Or that  the debate team is better at another school. So many more factors in play for HS and that ultimately means that families can find better fits for their kids than when applying to K.

Is it easier to apply form K-8 to a Big 3? Or is it easier to apply out of a K-12? For example, is it easier to apply for Sidwell or Maret from Sheridan or easier from GDS?
