<p>Not unusual in an academically rigorous school. Son had a 92 and was around the 30th percentile, especially when you have a lot of high-achieving kids (we did). A 91-92 is really a B+ (actually on our grading scale an A was a 93-100). If the school does a good job in explaining the academic rigors on their school profile, the college will understand the competitiveness of that particular school. At our school, over 85% of the students get a 3 or better on the AP exams and all are required to take the exam. Also, they put the avg SAT, # of NMSFs, etc. on the school profile to help the colleges get an overview of the school.</p>
<p>Our class of around 65-70 had about 10-12 top 20 school admits. Several ivies this year. We had 2 Dukes, a handful at Emory, a Brown, Dartmouth, Stanford, U o fPA, Princeton, Vandy, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Chicago (all different kids!). Several on WL at Harvard and Yale. This year’s class was unusually talented and did better than the last several classes. It’s a private (episcopal) college prep, upper middle class.</p>
<p>Our school posts on it’s website (and in the newspaper) which colleges the students were accepted, not just where they matriculated. Can you get that information? You said accepted but I’m wondering if it was really matriculated. </p>
<p>Accepted is more helpful than matriculation because, at the end of the day, even many well-to-do families choose less expensive schools or schools where the students received substantial merit aid.</p>
<p>If you actually saw the ‘accepted’ list then I would ask the GC - seems unlikely that no one applied to an Ivy. We usually have at least Ivy one acceptance per year and several top 10.</p>
