Then your school isn’t particularly impressive

Right, you basically just said your school falls in the middle of the pack.

Well yeah... Middle of the pack for free. Imagine paying $50k±/year and getting these scores. Yikes.

Yet, here you are with your nose pressed up against the window of our fancy restaurant, salivating over meal.

Salivating over these scores? Hahaha... No. Your kid will likely end up at the same university as the unwashed masses of public school kids. Cheers!

I remember when my kids were young they had two babysitters. One went to the local public (Blair, non magnet) and one went to Georgetown Visitation. They both ended up at Clemson. I remember talking to my husband about it. We pulled out kids from private shortly after that.

Most people have their kids at private because they don't want the kids to have PTSD after being in DC public. The behavior at the schools are crazy. I will continue to pay$$$ to keep that away from my kids. I don't care if they have a super high SAT score. I am not subjecting my kids to that environment.

Who are these losers "impressed" by a school building being built in a neighborhood with slightly wealthier people?

I see this exact thing, year over year. You made your decision based on that one thing. Others make different decisions based on different things.

Maybe at a tiny school. But the overall stats at big school, with a 100 highly academic students and a gamut of 500 others, comparing against a small selective school with 100 students per grade, is meaningless. The presence of less academically performing students doesn't harm the cohort of higher performing students.

None of those schools are even close to 50k per year.

The score you get is the score you would get anywhere. You aren't paying 50K for SAT prep.

Get your crayons. You need to be explained like an ignorant child that scores are not the only reason one attends private.
Jealousy is not a virtue.

What gives you the impression that you have anything to be jealous of?

Surrounding public is more likely to have a group of low performers who aren't taking the SAT at all.

And most privates don't take those low performers as students. So that evens out, yet, some of the surrounding publics still have a higher SAT average.

Oh, yea, I know I know... test scores don't matter that much. Tell that to OP.

There are a lot of kids at private schools who are there because of issues that will affect scores (ADD, etc.).

Very dated.

The smaller the school the greater the fluctuation year to year with each class. One kid's test can throw off the lot. Who knows which years' data Niche grabs.

You do know that public and private school kids can and do attend college together and have for hundreds of years.

Someone who is paying $50K for an average burger at a fancy restaurant is just dumb.

Spoken like a broke person.
