[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think there is one person who seems to be obsessed with TJ, Blair and Exeter. The rest of the posts are much more balanced and not obsessed with PSAT scores. To read the one poster though apparently our children are doomed if they do not attend one of those 3 schools. 2 of them require living in specific school jurisdictions and then passing the rigorous testing to get in. The 3rd is a boarding school. So apparently those of us who are not willing to send our sons to boarding school or move to Fairfax or MoCo may as well pack it in now. Totally bizarre outlook in my opinion but to each his own. Actually I understand the school with the highest average SAT scores is actually a school in Korea. So maybe that poster better send her son there if she cares only about the scores. [/quote]

This defensive, thin skinned, whinny drivel about moving to Korea or out of the County does not shed any light to questions posed in this thread:

1.   Why potential parents and students cannot get an accounting of the academic outcome of an education at STA.  Potential parents and students could care less whether existing parents or students do not wish to provide this information.  If the information is not provided STA will continue to receive inquiries based on reporting of this type of outcomes from other institutions and in the media. Clearly, this is not the total substance of an education but it is quantifiable and measurable across the land and compliments information about football and lacrosse championships.

a.  AP scores 
      b.  SAT/ACT scores
      c.  SAT subject scores
      d.  annual exmissions list (not by decade)

How does the undoubtedly fine and superior education at STA impact the above variables?

This data is available.  It is provided by the push of a button without substantial dollars or work effort.
