I just don’t believe this.

This was Norwood’s placement last year: https://www.norwoodschool.org/program/high-school-placement

By my count, 22 of out of the 48 kids went to a top tier school:

GDS — 2
Prep — 1
Holton — 4
Landon — 2
Maret — 2
NCS — 1
Potomac — 2
Sidwell — 5
STA — 3

People will say some of these aren’t top tier, but they’re all very strong. I don’t believe all these kids fell into the categories PP listed. How many 8th graders have developed an app anyway?!

I’d be careful interpreting the list above. This is not the number of individual students that ended up going to these schools, this is the number of acceptances the schools have issued. In most cases, from our experience, it’s the same kids who are getting multiple acceptances at these top tier schools ( elite athletes, URM, super scholars ) . For example, one very elite athlete ( and bright student)  at our K-8 got into 4 of the “ Big 5”. When our school publishes acceptances, it might look like they had 4 students accepted at those schools when they in fact had only 1.

[b]I think the list is showing matriculations, at least as to these schools[/b].  The bolded schools, some (but all listed above) with the numbers in parentheticals, are schools where Norwood grads ended up, and I'm sure the intent was to show the number of Norwood grads at each.  Otherwise why would they have even bothered to list list numbers after Churchill and Whitman?[/quote]

You are correct - the numbers the PP included in this list are the numbers who intended to start the school year at these schools. I could list the names of those numbers above.[/quote]
