Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Northwood School's own list (Classes of 2021-2025), enrolled: St. Lawrence University (13), University of Vermont (11), Boston College (6), Rochester Institute of Technology (6), Hobart and William Smith Colleges (5).
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.
