<p>Has anyone seen the recent ones???
What was the ivy matriculation percentage to the following schools?:
Milton
NMH
Loomis
Westminster
Kent</p>
<p>Most likely available on their websites. If it’s not, no one else is going to have them.</p>
<p>I can’t help you specifically, but don’t most of the top preps have about 30% matriculating at Ivies? Between recruited athletes, academic competition superstars, and legacies, the numbers can be a bit misleading anyway.</p>
<p>here are the latest ranking info.</p>
<p>The ranking was determined based on SAT score, endowment/student, number of AP classes, number of Sports club, number of Extracurricular activities, boarding students ratio, students to teachers ratio, percentage of the advanced degree holding faculties, students per class, and its history(foundation year)</p>

<p>Frankly the following criteria should not be used to rank prep schools:</p>
<p>• Number of Sports clubs
• Number of Extracurricular activities
• Boarding students ratio
• Students per class
• History (foundation year) </p>
<p>Arguably some of the remaining 5 criteria are not crucial in determining rankings either in my opinion, but including the above is just silly. Suppose a school decided to create a whole bunch of clubs and extracurricular activities, merely multiplying them in numbers, in order to artificially improve its ranking. (I don’t see why increased number of these things should improve prep school rankings in the first place anyway.) </p>
<p>When it comes to boarding student ratio, how do they weigh it? Is it better to have high ratio of the number of boarding students to day students or the other way around? Again I don’t see how this can be a good thing or bad thing objectively. This is a matter of taste or opinion. </p>
<p>Students per class. I take this to mean class as in graduating class not classroom since there is already a category called students to teacher ratio. In essence this just means enrollment size which, again, is a matter of preference. How do you rank schools based on size? Larger is better or smaller? Makes little sense. </p>
<p>Foundation year and the overall quality of school are needless to say not always correlated. Rankings that include these cannot be accurate measures of the true worth of the schools relative to one another. I think this list comes from an organization in Korea.</p>
<p>In no particular order at all, the following might be profitably taken into account when attempting to produce a ranking that is as objective and relevant to the purpose as possible (the first five are not mine): </p>
<p>• SSAT, SAT, and other test scores
• Endowment/student (financial aid availability)
• Number of AP classes or equivalent
• Students to teachers ratio
• Percentage of the advanced degree holding faculties
• Matriculation rate
• Admission rate
• Yield rate
• Quality of academics (breadth and depth of curricula, teaching quality, etc.)
• Quality and competitiveness of athletics and other extracurricular activities including music, fine arts, performing arts, etc.
• General renown/reputation/prestige
• School settings, buildings, facilities, surroundings, amenities, etc.
• Student satisfaction (subjective, yes, but an important criterion nonetheless; suppose a school is outstanding in all aspects listed above yet kids are constantly under enormous pressure and there is high suicide rate and other indications of lack of psychological wellbeing, then all else being equal they are better off going elsewhere; fortunately I don’t think this is the case in any prep school that I’m aware of in the US, so perhaps this should be optional) </p>
<p>Just a thought, seeing how there were so many contradictory rankings of prep schools everywhere on CC. I am sure I’m missing quite a bit here and maybe my list contains unimportant or not-very-useful criteria. </p>
<p>There is also the question of which of these are most important and which aren’t. In other words, how should we weigh each criterion fairly and proportionately with respect to each other? I think in the end this is quite a futile task. But individuals and organizations like US News do engage in this activity all the time so maybe one could produce some definitive list (however arbitrary it may be ultimately).</p>
