My rating system evaluated one hundred (100%) percent of all U.S. college matriculations. The results showed some surprises. To the OP: St. George's has one of the best college placement offices in the country. St. Paul's, Andover, Deerfield and Groton were in a class above the others with respect to college matriculation success. ... "

My reply:

Icy9ff8, your research approach sounds very interesting. You seem to take a more complete view of matriculation metrics -- to include casting light on the "bottom" (roughly) 80% of a school's graduating class. Most published studies effectively focus on the top (roughly) 20%.

Tried to PM/e-mail you to no avail. Please PM me if you're around. Thanks!!
