  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. The Lab School of Washington publishes where its graduates go (2021-2025): 194 colleges, including Boston University, Brown University, Columbia College Chicago, Middlebury 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.

About this listing

The Lab School of Washington is listed by PSS 2020 · NAIS. Its enrollment figures below come from the most recent federal Private School Survey it answered; the survey is voluntary, and the school did not respond to the latest wave. The school's own site: www.labschool.org ↗
