Thankfully, our school is also extremely low key about applications and college choices. It’s a 1-12 private school, and many have been together since before they got here, so there’s a lot of support and a real sense of family camaraderie. We don’t rank, and that helps a lot. There’s a general sense of where you MIGHT be, but because they have the ability to take advanced courses as freshmen, and beginning courses as seniors, it gets very confusing- in a good way. The college counselors do a wonderful job of repeating that mantra ‘there’s a perfect college fit for everyone’ so that everyone believes it and just settles in for a great year. Kids from our school go to the usual top 20, HYP, small LACs and the state schools.
