How to Get Your Child Into High School

May 21, 2025 | Dr. Laura Konigsberg

Both of our children got into their first-choice high schools. They had multiple acceptance options when admissions decisions were released. We didn’t have letters of recommendation from well-connected family friends, nor did we know anyone on either school’s board. We didn’t hire an admissions consultant (and, to my knowledge, neither did most families in their grades). We didn’t make a donation to improve their odds. They applied to schools that were a good fit—and presented themselves as they are: curious, intelligent, lovely, funny, and imperfect.

Congratulations, Class of 2019

Dr. Laura Konigsberg

It is our honor and privilege to share with our community this year’s high school acceptance list. Please join us in celebrating all our graduating students’ many accomplishments; not just their potential destination for next year. The truth is all of these schools are better when they include Turning Point graduates within their communities. As we like to say, “The schools our students attend are all great, but it is our graduates who bring the thunder.” This year’s graduates are no exception.

The ABCs of CTP Testing

At Turning Point, we use a variety of ways to truly understand and assess student mastery. Knowledge is complex, and exhibiting mastery is best revealed in ways that honor its complexity.

At Turning Point, we understand the pressure families feel about matriculating at a high school that will broaden their college choices down the line. But when we consider how well Turning Point Level 8 students know themselves, how confident they are, and how ably they articulate their talents and abilities, we recognize that this is a unique opportunity for our oldest students to make their mark.
