That is a bit sobering. If you think of Prep Schools as “College Preparation” and not “Life Preparation”, to see matriculation averages below the average matriculation for all applicants to the college as a whole (say, under 10% for the top 25 national colleges + the top 15 liberal arts colleges), is an eye-opener (I know I am technically comparing apples with oranges, but still!).
The year of these data, for example, Governor’s Academy sent one student to HYPMS, and an additional 3 students to other ivies. That is probably better than a local public school, but by how much? One would hope that life values and balance are learned EXTREMELY well, since that is another (arguably more important) mission of Prep Schools.
