Yes, he founded it. He somehow ended up owing them millions of dollars, and after suing him they forced the sale of a huge home he owned in East Hampton.


Didn't expect that coming. If this really is Whittle's school, their outcome is actually good. Something does not add up.

On par with big 3.

If you're wealthy enough to be there in the first place, there is almost no difference between a top tier school and your local state school in long-term outcomes. Going to a top tier school really only makes a difference for kids from families that don't already have wealth and connections - first generation college students and some underrepresented minorities.


Fake news.

Saying "research is pretty convincing", without quoting any "research", not even "fake research"!

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?


No. Emphasis on 50% kids go to t50-t100 schools.

urbanmoms are the most obnoxious people on earth. This actually would be a great school to go, if you want to stay away from obnoxious kids.


I see why old money hates this school. Because this school provides access to the same education as, and similar outcome to, their legacy high school. I would hate it too if I am urban mom.


Just saw PA Andover in the other post. It seems Avenues outcome is on par with PAA.
Yeah, it breaks the exclusivity that once belongs to the upper class.

Isn't this essentially an online school for kids who do intensive sports these days?
