  • Where graduates go: #3 feeder school to Georgia; top 10 for Georgia Tech and Wake Forest University. Pace Academy's own list (Class of 2026), enrolled: Georgia (11), Georgia Tech (5), Penn (5), Wake Forest University (5), Auburn (4). Feeder standing: #5 Georgia Tech, #8 Wake Forest University, #8 Duke, #9 UNC Chapel Hill, #10 Penn, #10 Vanderbilt.
  • 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.
