[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You only need to look as far as the outcomes.  NCS does not inflate grades.  [b]Some girls are at the top of the class and the range goes down from there[/b].  However, their 2016 college list they posted leads me to believe that even the girls at the bottom of the class are going to top universities.  [/quote]

Is there a school in the world where this is not a true statement?[/quote]

Wow, thanks for pointing that out.  You are so smart.  I think the point is that girls at the bottom of the class at NCS are still going to top universities - whereas kids at the B range in public schools are not.  But I think you already knew that.  [/quote]

This is not a fair comparison. Most private school parents do not have the same limitations when it comes to college. They are a lot more willing and able to send their kids out of state, private, the other coast, etc. to have their child go to the best school they can get into. Most public school parents I know limit their kids college choices to in state publics. My daughter for example has the academic credentials to get into UVA or W&M, however this certainly doesn't mean show will get in, in which case she will end up at Tech or JMU. If we had the $$$ we could have her apply and send her to one of the other schools in the country of similar stature. However we don't. So just because B public school students don't end up at the same colleges as their private school counterparts, doesn't mean that they weren't as strong of candidates or their public school pedigree was held against them in admissions, most likely they weren't applying to the same colleges anyways.
