A parent's read

Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Lincoln Academy publishes where its graduates go (the last 5 years): 88 colleges, including Boston University, Bowdoin College, Brown University, Columbia 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.

Composed from this page's data — every claim is backed by a number in the sections below.
