Exmissions to Colleges and Universities (Rye, Mamaroneck: appointed, public schools, education)

[WestchesterRE]

Are there any websites that list what colleges and universities graduates of particular westchester high schools will be attending? Trying to see what types of schools most students attend in a few different districts. I've already seen the rankings in westchester mag but nothing about colleges.

I've seen it published in one of the local publications. When I graduated from Scarsdale High School the "Scarsdale Inquirer" had a list of where students from the graduating class would be attending college. If I remember correctly you had to opt-in for this, I don't believe they automatically published everyone's college decisions. I can't speak for any other towns, though.

Yes, local newspapers are a good source. You can find the info for Mamaroneck and Rye Neck schools in the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Patch.

Google and ye shall find.

If you are interested in exmissions I suggest you look into Scardsale High School or Greenwich Public Schools (they have advanced learner programs there). You will be extremely disappointed if you send your kids to any of the other schools take it from me, the goal here is to make children all rounded not to help them excel in academics. The idea of differentiated education mystifies even the "best" schools in Westchester. As for gifted and talented education...it is non existent since here the belief is that "all children are gifted in their own way" ...unless of course we are talking about soccer, basketball or some other sport where the better athletes can try out for teams where they will be adequately challenged.

Can you share your specific experience with the district you are in, rather than make generalizations about all Westchester schools other than Scarsdale? My district doesn't have a formal G&T program but there is differentiated instruction in the classrooms and the teachers are great about challenging students appropriately with supplemental material.
