Montessori Community School's College Enrollment Rate

I saw a topic about Montessori Community School (MCS), but not Pre-School
I would like to ask about the schooling after graduation from Elementary.
Please let me know if you know anything about this or if you have children in the school.
The MCS website publishes the number of graduates who go on to higher education and the number of accepted students for the schools they have applied to
In some years there are only 5 graduates for 2021 （ 4 of them went to Punahou 1 to Iolani ！ ）
. The last two years also seem to have only 9 or 11 students, but does MCS Elementary only have about 10 students per grade level?

My daughter turned 4 last December and is currently in another preschool, but I am hoping she can go to Punahou or Iolani from about middle school
I am sending her to a private school as soon as she turns 3, but the teacher at the school has asked me if I can go to Punahou or Iolani.
I took the entrance exams for both schools earlier this year and was unsuccessful.
I plan to take the test again at Kinder, but MCS seems to be very competitive for admission from Kinder as well .........

If anyone knows if Elementary only has about 10 students, etc., please let me know!

Is Wilson popular ？
My second daughter has been a GE in Kinder since August and Wilson is the only one who hasn't heard anything, so I contacted them last weekend and they said they haven't sent out notices to anyone yet and
They said they still have openings and they can send out accept notices within the next week and no one will be denied. I was told that there is a SPACE that will not be deny.
I was told that Wilson, Waikiki, and Kahala are easy to get into these days, and Manoa, Noelani, Hokulani, and Nuuanu are popular because of their rising academic standards ！
However, it seems that only the top 1% of the top students at Punahou and Iolani can get in from public schools. According to Tutor, my oldest daughter.
Well, it's free education, but I wonder what the teachers are teaching if there is such a gap with private schools.
According to Tutor, it is not because they are private schools ！ but because there are only a few private schools that can provide the level of education required to enter Punahou or Iolani
and to enter those private schools is a very high level entrance exam.
My oldest daughter will be in the 5th grade in August, and she is also a Tutor, but since it is a public school, it is difficult to get into Punahou or Iolani unless you are in the top 1%
I am thinking about Midpac or Secret Heart.

From my experience, even from the public elementary schools, they have been accepted to Punahou and Iolani. Everyone I know from the 6th grade, including me, has been accepted to both schools. The average number of students who go to private schools seems to be 2 or 3 per grade because there are not many students who take the exam from public schools. I've been reading the posts here and there is a great air of not being able to get into Punahou or Iolani unless you went to a feedin school, so just FYI.

やはりパブリックからだとプナホウ、イオラニどころかプライベート自体に行く子が2〜３人しかいないんですね！
luluさんのお子さんは、その１%なんですよ！
優秀で羨ましいです！
このトピ見てからプライベート受験について学校に聞きに行きました。やはりうちの子はプナホウ、イオラニに受かる学力ではないようです　笑
本当にパブリックからはMontessori やHanahau’oli
のように9割プナホウとかとは違って難しいようです。
学校側もMontessori やHanahau’oli は独自の教育法でプナホウ、イオラニに進学率を伸ばしているから、パブリックとは違う、とハッキリ言われました。
仰る通りです！と納得でした。
我が家は受験するかどうかから練り直し！
子供に相応しいレベルを見極める良いきっかけになりました！

I took the Punahou ・ Iolani ・ mid-pack Kinder exam this year and got wiped out. Kinder exams are fierce competition.
I plan to go to one of the above public kinder in GE. I have heard that some people have gone to Punahou ・ Iolani even from public schools, which gives me hope. Thank you.
But cram school and Tutor are essential. I will try my best to try again ！.

I applied to both Hana Hau'oli and MCS this year and had no connections at all.
I am currently attending St. Clements from the age of 3 and wanted to start my child at Hana Hau'oli or MCS from the age of 4, so I was not sure if I would be accepted to both schools.
After numerous questions at orientations and with admissions staff at both schools, we decided to enroll her at MCS.
The criterion for our choice was still the percentage of students going from the middle to the TOP 2.
We are not considering taking the Kinder exam because we want to
be clear about our child's skills and our child's intentions as to what our child wants to do, learn, future possibilities, etc. when he/she enters Middle.
I am not sure if Kinder will be able to identify the strengths of my child since both Punahou and Iolani schools have their own strengths.
Hana Hau'oli also had a good school culture and a high rate of students going to Punahou, but the school culture was more connected and the actual rate of students going to the top 2 middle schools in recent years was
higher at MCS.
We are excited about the Montessori education at MCS.
The admissions staff and school staff are very kind and honest, and the teachers seem to be of a high caliber, as they must have not only teaching credentials but also Montessori teaching credentials
to be able to teach.
I am still enrolled in the school from August, so I hope to share more details as they become available.
