College Acceptances at High Schools

<p>Ah. I see.</p>

<p>A school down the street does something like that. They even plot the scores of accepted/rejected/waitlisted students at each school as a reference.</p>

<p>I know a few public schools that publish the matriculation list of each year's class. But I find that to be in poor taste and a bit creepy.</p>

<p>My daughter's public high school posts each graduating picture and their after high school plans (Most of which are going on to college) in the glass awards cabinet. They also publish a map of where everyone is going to be in their final newspaper of the year. It makes it easier for kids to look up class mates when traveling and such. I think it's really neat to be able to follow what each child is doing. And I also think it is quite cool that the school emphasizes after high school life early on, so the students are proud of not only their accomplishment of graduating, but are also proud of their future plans.</p>

<p>I'm feeling a little feisty today so I'll add ... </p>

Collegekid100, almost half the class matriculated to top 25 Colleges. Do you know of schools sending 50% of the class to top 25 schools?

</p>

<p>My first thought is I am very glad that my kids go to a school that does NOT have 50% of the class going to top 25 schools. We love our kid's HS which is a mid-sized, suburban, but next-to-city, public high school where, for those inclined, they can get a top tier HS education.</p>

<p>My D school do release data for matriculation and school profile for each batch that goes with each student application to colleges. I have the habit of keeping all those and analysing it. I've developed some software to rank school on the basis of this information.
School do provide information about AP scores, SAT scores etc. and so a lot can be said from that before admissions. </p>

<p>I have tried getting similar information from the selective public schools in NY and Virgina but failed to recieve any information from the school. The school official promise to mail it but they never do. So I was thinking if someone can post these.</p>

<p>The data can be misleading in some cases but I think in most cases it is better to have this information than not. </p>

<p>I've the ranking of all the public schools in california based on these numbers using my software because the california Education board provide all the scores for the high schools. I was unable to get the same information from New Jersy, New York so couldn't create the ranking there.</p>

<p>Is there a way to upload a html file, then I can load it?</p>

<p>ses - my S's public high school (graduating class ~500) publishes a list of students' matriculation plans, however students must 1st agree to have their info published. Most students participate, but there are always a few who don't and a few who list something false/humorous.</p>

<p>Our city's newspaper (large metropolitan paper) asks local school districts to provide statistics on how many students are matriculating to "top schools", defined as USNWR's top 20 LACs and top 20 Comprehensive Unis. It's a competitive world out there.</p>

<p>I like the whole map idea.</p>

<p>We have a public school in NY with graduating class of 90.</p>

<p>Princeton: 2
U Penn: 1
Cornell: 1
Tufts: 1
BC: 1
Top Lac's : 5 (turned down Brown, U Chicago)
Chapel Hill: 1(turned down Northwestern)
Emory: 1
BU: 2
Tisch: 1
Stern: 1
NYU A&S: 3
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy: 1</p>

<p>The two most brilliant kids in the class (won all science and math awards + valedictorian) are going to Stony Brook out of choice because they are already engaged in cutting edge research. Our kids are more intersted in medicine and science research than business, which I am gathering is not the norm these days. Eliteness of schools doesn't always tell the whole story. After high school plans are announced at graduation and each child is warmly congratulated. </p>

<p>Schools of</p>

<p>I generated this ranking few years back when I was debating whether or not to change my daughter school. This doesn't include all the private High schools but do have all the california public high schools.</p>

<p>I was surprised at some Parochial School ranking that came out to be better than some good public schools.</p>

<p>Bash me if you want but this was generated by software based on actual numbers.</p>

<p>A lot at WPI because they now offer a "Robotics Major" and our schol recently won the international championship for FIRST Robotics.</p>

<p>milki: There many in this world who don't want to see information if they don't like it. There is freedom for everyone to flag a page if they like.</p>

<p>I love wiki too as it let people decide whether or not they want such information on wiki.</p>

<p>Last time I checked those parochials in the Bay Area(the 4 well known catholic schools) did not do that welll compare to some public high schools I see around here. Another point to consider, a mom released the scattergrams of Acadia High school and very few kids bother to apply to East Coast schools, otherwise there would be more rejections on the scattergrams. I think there is less than 2%, and mostly to Ivies, but not the good schools that are not Ivies like NYU, U of Chicago, Wellesley, Smith, Amherst, etc.. I think kids from the NY and New England areas tend to apply more to the schools in the East Coast, so it is not a fair comparison to CA public hs, where probably through self selective, most students don't even bother to apply to those good schools but non-Ivies, ie top 25 schools. So the statistics could be meaningless because we have not taken into account of a lot of factors.</p>

<p>It is wrong to say that students from california public HS doesn't apply to top 25 east coast schools. If you look at the scatterdiagrams from the bay area public high school you will find equal number of students (some time more) apply to each coast school since the batches are generally much larger, so even though the % is less but the number of students applying is no where less for competetive public high schools from the bay area.</p>

<p>PoIH, I don't think your article was deleted because people don't like to see what they don't want to. From what I can make out, it seems you violated some Wikipedia Policies - I'm not that much of an experienced editor, but those links on the Talk Page make it a bit clear.</p>

<p>I believe I've already posted this somewhere else on here, but I'll do it again. The first number represents the amount accepted, the second, the amount matriculated (accepted/matriculated).</p>

<p>It's interesting that you guys know all this stuff. My school is Quaker and disdains this sort of 'bragging'.</p>

<p>At the same time, though, I love going there because kids are encouraged to apply where they want. So we send just as many kids to Macalester, Carleton, Antioch, Grinnell, etc. as we do to the Ivies and other top tier schools, which I think is healthier.</p>
