About 25% kids go to tippy top (ivy, t10).

Then only very few got into second tier (think T20) schools like Georgetown, Hamilton, Wesleyan, Grinnell.

About 15% got into third tiers schools, nyu, usc, cmu, etc.

Then some 4th tier schools Boston U, Boston C, Tufts, Tulane.

About half of the class go to no name schools (T50-T200), they are all spread out.

This indicates about half of the class are good performing kids, and about half (lifers?) who don't have motivation.

If your kid is a performing student, this would be a good school. If not, no difference if they go to a public school, would achieve the same result.


Did you just post this to troll people about college tiers?

Because it's a mediocre for-profit school with a tuition that's even higher than the TT privates. We didn't even consider it when we were looking.

Avenues was founded by serial fraudster Chris Whittle. When they kicked him out after he failed to repay millions in loans he came to DC to dupe Washingtonians out of their cash and pocket millions more in loans from Chinese “
Investors “. Avenues proceeded to take over his Hamptons estate while Whittle conned his investors further , including his wife who provided many “mortgages” and eventually divorced him. Avenues survived after the purge and has evolved into a reasonably good school. Whittle reinvented himself an 8th time with a Gap Year program he’s now selling and managed to blame the half billion dollar Whittle School debacle on Covid.

Looks like only 40% kids go to a decent college, T30, SLAC.
If you count 3rd tier like tufts, bu, bc, a bit better.

Mediocre results. Nothing compared to Dalton Trinity.

I’m impressed by what Avenues has become. Lots of famous names along these kids and good college outcomes too.

Live downtown and have never heard of anyone not being accepted here. For preschool, I actually think they’ll just keep making more classes until they hit the number of applications.

It’s not a TT but nonetheless impressive. Last year’s matriculation seems better.

The kids I know at Avenues who are successful would be successful even if they didn’t go there because their parents have a lot of $.

The kids I know at Avenues who do just ok would be flailing if they were anywhere else because they couldn’t get in to other privates or competitive, test-in schools and don’t have the kind of emotional or intellectual intelligence to do well in “regular” NYC public.

So I guess it’s the right place for the students who end up there, which is all I can really say about it.

Avenues is a PE portfolio institution and it shows. Their focus is on flashy buildings and bringing in tuition dollars. If you can pay, you can get in. If your kid is very smart and talented, there are much better private schools in NYC.
