[quote=Anonymous][/quote] I’ve read many times on this forum that families do not choose private schools for college outcomes. Am I right? [/quote] I guess I am one of the parents your are describing. I'm not sure what you mean by "college outcomes" but I am assuming you are referring to college admissions. My kid had very good grades and an incredible ACT score. After attending one of the Big 3 (small graduating class} my kid wanted to go to a big state school with big time sports and school spirit. My kid was accepted to several schools in the top 25 but decided to go another way. My kid is thriving at his big state school. He has stated many times that his Upper School classes were much more difficult than his freshman college classes. His grades, so far, seem to prove this. We never pushed our kid to make grades at his school. He did what he could. We are thrilled that his private school education is serving him well. To each their own.[/quote]
