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!

My daughter went to MCS for 3 and 4 years old, Kinder to Punahou, and now attends Middle.
She told me that there are many children from MCS at Middle and that she reconnected with some of her classmates from MCS Preschool.
She says that the kids from MCS and Hanahauoli from 6th and 7th are so smart that she herself would have been
smarter if she had stayed at MCS until 5th ( lol )

My daughter was in MCS Montessori method of education matched in preschool, and I remember the astonishing increase in her intellectual level at ages 3 and 4.
She also developed self-determination, initiative, manners, and concentration from learning so much with her fingers.
As a result, my daughter and many other children moved from MCS to Punahou and Iolani Kinder, eight years ago.
Nowadays, the school is still the same, or rather, it seems to be a feeding school with even higher academic standards than then ( )
Therefore, recently, many students are going straight to MCS Kinder, and 90% of the middle school students are going to Punahou.
I heard that 90% of the students from the middle school go to Punahou. It is undeniably MCS that laid the foundation for my daughter's academic success.
Montessori education is a method that can only be developed at a young age, so most schools only offer elementary.
I, as a parent, feel that the Montessori method of education that she developed as a toddler still has a tremendous impact on her academic ability, independence, and self-determination. I am sorry that this is far from the answer to your question.
However, if you are considering sending your child to MCS ! I highly recommend it !.

Plumeria, thank you for even giving us an update on where those who will be graduating this year will be going to school !
Thank you for the details.

Many students take the exam in 5th grade and move to Punahou or Iolani ! It is true that more 5th graders take the exam than 6th graders
Both Punahou and Iolani accept more students !
Only the results of students who have been enrolled in the final 6th grade are published. Only the results of students enrolled until the final grade 6 are publicly available, so in terms of numbers, there are about 20 students per class per grade. I know it must be a fierce competition to be accepted from Kinder, though, since I was rejected from preschool two years in a row.
But really, the feeding school that the preschool teachers are talking about is the one where 90% of the students can go on to Punahou or Iolani. It is rare to find a school that can give you that level of academic achievement. That's why I understood why the ratio of students is so high.

Both of my children went from MCS to Punahou. ! I will try my best to take the Kinder exam again this year !
I want to settle down soon because I have to take the exam every year ! ! ! Thank you !

I had heard rumors, but it's amazing
We send ours to Public in Waikiki, and this year, out of almost 50 students, only one child was accepted to Punahou.
The kids I know who go to Wilson and Liholiho have zero. I am not sure how many kids took the test.
I heard that Hokulani had 2 and Kahala had 1. It is still quite difficult to get in from public.
17 out of 20 compared to Public where there are almost 50 or more and only one or two pass or not !
This is the difference between the kids who are paying for advanced education and those who are not. This is a topical difference that makes me keenly aware that this is the difference between a child who pays for a high level of education and a Public.
We are not financially able to do this and we didn't have the brains to put him in a feeding school ( Sweat ).

Our family also took the Kinder exam and was not accepted to MontessoriCommunity School this year.
The percentage of students going on to Punahou is very high.
Dear Plumeria, I can't see the information about where the students who will graduate this year, 2024, will go on to, because it is not on Montessori's website yet.
The information for current students is very early !
8 out of 9 students were accepted, which is more than 90% Punahou acceptance rate. It is also great that 5 Iolani were accepted and all declined.
I envy you because you can't get this education without getting into Montessori first ! Congratulations to your child on getting into Punahou.

My son goes to Waikiki Elementary and will be a middle school student next year
I was thinking about having him take the test, but then I heard a rumor that about 15 people from Waikiki Elementary took the test this year and none of them passed. !

I was surprised to hear that only 1 out of 60 students from public schools passed the exam ! I was so naive !
17 out of 20 students are Punahou and the rest are Iolani.
More than 90% of the students are Punahou and Iolani.
The difference in academic achievement between Public and Iolani is astonishing !
I thought there is no difference in learning between Public and Private
but money changes education
Zero passes this year I knew the difference between the two and knew the reality. Sorry son !
