[quote=Anonymous]I understand all of the foregoing arguments about not publishing the stats as well. But my question is, how are we parents supposed to feel confident that a school is academically selective without such information? My DS goes to a school now (Catholic) where there is really quite a range of learning abilities. DS is one of the strongest students, and he wants to go to school with more students like himself. Do we just have to take the other schools' word for it that they are truly more academically selective? We don't want to make a move to an "elite school" (assuming he could be accepted) and then find out the grass really isn't any greener anywhere else, because exceptions are routinely made for legacies, wealth or connections, athletic prowess, or whatever else schools make exceptions for these days. How can we know if the "cohort" really would be different? I mean this genuinely. [/quote]
