[quote=Anonymous]I used to think it really didn't matter where a kid went to high school ( private or good public) but I have changed my view comparing my sons to their cousins. They all entered with roughly the same scores and grades. The two boys who went to the Sidwell came out with a superior education, much higher test scores and slightly lower GPAs. The got much better mentoring, counseling, and I suspect better recommendations from teachers who knew them extremely well and had time to write each carefully. They result is that the Sidwell boys are going to an Ivy and the top SLAC and felt extremely well prepared. The public school kids all got into to top 50 universities. Two of five are going to top 20 schools. Each has said they have have had gaps in their preparation, especially in writing at the college level. In the long run these differences may not matter. We will see.[/quote]
