New Trier or Lake Forest? New Trier is like 2.5x as large.

It's not underwhelming at all -- that's an massive amount of geographic diversity. Most public schools send 95% of their seniors to in-state colleges. Good to see a school with so many open-minded fearless kids. New states, long ways from home, all new friends, not knowing anyone is super intimidating to most teens.

Why underwhelming? A public school sent a nontrivial number of kids to elite institutions and a substantial number to darn good ones. No ordinary public school is so special.

And you believed them?
