Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Franklin Road Academy publishes where its graduates go (past five years): 288 colleges, including Boston College, Boston University, Bowdoin College, Brown University.
Worth asking admissions: the school profile. Reach doesn't yet show this school's SAT/ACT or AP results. Every private school produces a counselor's "school profile" for colleges, and most post it online — ask admissions for it. How a school answers says as much as the numbers.
