Given that the number of kids I personally know who have been asked to leave Milton, I would dispute their 2% figure. The 10% figure doesn’t strike me as particularly unreasonable. Say you have an incoming 9th grade class of 150 kids, it doesn’t strike me as crazy to think that 15 of them won’t end up graduating from that school four years later, for a whole host of reasons. You probably get a few who decide boarding school isn’t for them/it’s too hard, you get a few who are asked to leave for disciplinary or academic reasons, you get a few who leave for totally random reasons like family issues, financial problems, an important coach leaving and going to a different school, etc. 2% strikes me as ludicrously low – out of 150 kids, only 3 don’t end up staying through to graduation? No way.
