Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Walden School publishes where its graduates go (Class of 2026): 11 colleges, including Abertay University (Scotland), American University, Bellarmine University, DePaul 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.
