Billy Procida re Hydes Finances
Anonymous:
the lying bit was kind of sarcastic. the 99% acceptance rate was true, actually. i know this year, we have 2 kids going on to do P.G. years, and almost everyone has gotten in, but there are still some waiting to hear back. i know one may not get into schools due to a credit thing and will enter next spring...but i think it's now like 97-98%. that's actually true. at least in my past 4 years. they post all the seniors and what schools they got into and continuously update it as we hear back. if you're a former student, what were the statistics for your class? what i've said applies to the woodstock campus only. i don't know stats for bath. and as for the hyde d.c. school, seniors can't graduate there until they are accepted into a college. that might change, but they have a 100% acceptance rate, obviously due to that criteria for graduation. the other questions asked, you can call up and ask admissions yourself from 9-4 monday through friday. i don't need to do research you can do yourself. it's P.A. time.
next question....

--- Quote from: ""billy procida"" ---please show me a school that posts negative parent feedback. i'm talking about the other boarding schools or private schools. please be realistic here. as someone in admissions, i honestly don't know some of those answers. from 4 years here, i can DESCRIBE the answeres unofficially with no actual numbers in front of me. also, i really do mean that this year's admissions acceptances are a lot different from the past years. a kid today i toured ended up getting kicked out of his interview. he refused to answer questions and had a bad attitude overall. normally, we might try to get him to come back when "he's ready" meaing...we need you. we were, to my understanding, more desperate for numbers and money. this campus. the young one. but this year's a lot different. and we seem to have more freshmen, for example, coming back next year. usually, a small few would be planning on returning. we have, i believe, 10-12? keep in mind, freshmen class is also fairly small in teh first place. so idk about actual numbers. you can get that just like i can. so why don't you call admissions and ask. and if you want to be dishonest about it, pose as an educational consultant. or you could just ask. idk what the answer will be. probably not too good. the admissions HISTORY isn't too good, the admissions FUTURE AND PRESENT is a lot brighter.
i've got practice now. and a track team to prepare for tomorrow's first meet of the season.

Am disappointed in your answer Billy. You are right that schools are not going to post negative feedback, but do they post lies? You and I both know that the stats Hyde posts are not true. Why are they saying that 99% of the graduating class is accepted into a four year college. Don't say anything rather than trying to mislead! If they wanted to tell the truth they would say, "approximately 50% of the graduating class goes onto a four year college." At least this was the correct stats for my graduating class and even then about 25% dropped out within a year. I don't think Hyde or any school should mislead parents. Keeping part of the truth from someone is as good as lying in my book! Agreed?
Speaking of which I am very surprised you would recommend lying to the school in order to get information.

Hi Billy. Thanks for your very insightful and honest posts. I have been very disturbed reading about those 990's which are the IRS forms for non profits like Hyde. Did you ask your friends at Hyde about this?. How come Joey gets up in front of the parents at family weekends and literally begs for money when he doesn't need it? He gets a little carried away with what bad shape the school is in and how they need this money to improve the facilities. I don't understand how he can ask in good concience for money from kids who can barely buy clothes.
Please let me know what you think about this whole thing with the forced donations
