Where is the MHS Class of 2009?

Judy Silberstein, posted on September 24, 2009

The Great Recession was accelerating last September just as Mamaroneck High School seniors began to fill out college applications, but the financial meltdown does not appear to have impacted where the students applied or where they are attending this year.

“Everyone thought there would be a movement to public and state schools,” said Bob Sweeney, an MHS guidance counselor.

“But not much was different, which surprised me,” said Nick Kourabas, coordinator of MHS counseling. “In ’08, 67% of the class went to private schools; in ’09, 69% went. What’s remarkable, in light of the economy, is that the number would have increased.”

Approximately two-thirds of the students applied through some sort of early decision process. And all but a small percentage of the class went on to higher education: 80-82% to a 4-year school; 12-14% to 2-year programs.

This year’s graduating class might make different choices. “My guess is that people were still in a little bit of denial as to how serious this was,” said Mr. Kourabas. “And they had done so much planning that they decided to go ahead with what they had in mind.”

“I’ll be surprised if we don’t see a greater percentage of kids applying to public schools this year,” said Mr. Kourabas. The harshness in the economy is beginning to take hold.”
