  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Sanford School publishes where its graduates go (In the last few years): 342 colleges, including Amherst College, Boston College, Boston University, Bowdoin College.
  • 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.
