[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not have to go to a private school to read a statistic. Private beats public in college admissions -- across the board. Only 60% of public school grads even apply to or go to college. Of those, you have 1-3% at top 25. At private 90% go to college. It goes on from there. 
Blair LOL, my housekeepers daughter declined that one and placed into Whitman![/quote]

Poor you. It helps to go take a statistics class to understand statistics, whether at a private or public high school or a private or public university. Not to start too much of a tangent, but the correct comparison is not the kid going off to be a plumber's apprentice vs. your basic Sidwell kid with two lawyer parents. The correct comparison is between outcomes for two otherwise identical kids, or outcomes for the same kid at two different schools. Iff exmissions is my only goal (a big iff), would my DD get into a better college from a private or public school, also it matters a whole lot which private school (St. A's?) and public school (Blair magnet?) you are comparing.[/quote]
