Mr. Hari
I have just answered the same question in another previous topic on MCS.
Here is a copy and paste below.

Nice to meet you ！ I have two children attending MCS, my oldest daughter took Punahou two years ago as a G5 (5th grade ） and my oldest son is now attending MCS as a G5.
My oldest son is also at Punahou starting in August.
To answer your question, MCS is up to G6 （ 6th grade ） as you mentioned. Therefore, the results that MCS publishes are the results of the children who have remained in G6.
MCS has one elementary class per grade, with roughly 20 to 22 students.
In fact, more than half of the children take Punahou or Iolani at G5, and less than half of the children stay on to G6 every year.
This year, 14 of my classmates who took the G5 exam including my oldest son were accepted to Punahou.
Of the 14 who were accepted to Punahou, 9 will go to Punahou and 5 to Iolani.

Most of the classmates who stayed until G6 also went to Punahou and Iolani, so as a result, most of the children who grew up together at MCS Elementary will be reunited at Punahou and Iolani
！
Out of 20 classmates in the year my oldest daughter was there, We have a situation with 17 in the Middle of Punahou.

Elementary is indeed one class, so it is a small group, but there are around 20 of us, and we are very bonded because we are together all the time.
The 7-10 students who go on to higher education are only those who remain until G6, and since they are almost all tested at G5, the group is small.
Hana Hau'oli also has about 20 students per class and most of them go to Punahou, which is similar to MCS.
For your information ！

To continue,
Today, the Admissions staff released the college destinations of the 11 students who stayed through G6, the grade above my son's, to the parents of
current students, a step ahead of the website. （ It will be reflected on the website soon ）
There are 11 current students who remained until G6, 9 Punahou students took the test and 8 were accepted, 7 Iolani students took the test and 5 were accepted, 10 Midpac students took the test and 10 were accepted.
One is moving to the Mainland. Of these, 8 Punahou went on to higher education, 2 to Midpac, and surprisingly, all Iolani declined.

Midpac is a no-slip choice, and Midpac has had a 100% acceptance rate for over a decade.
There are 11 students who have been in school through G6, but out of 21 classmates from their grade G1, 8 have gone to G5 （ 8 to Punahou and 2 to Iolani last year ） so
16 of 21 classmates from G1 at MCS are Punahou.
17 out of 20 students in my oldest daughter's grade are now in the middle of Punahou.
MCS Elementary is usually only one class with about 20 students. Of those, almost 90% go on to Punahou and the rest to Iolani and other schools.
I think this is why it is called a feeding school.
Personally, I highly recommend this school. It is a school where you can learn freely, where each individual is respected, and where each individual is looked after well.
My oldest daughter and son have been at MCS since they were 3 years old and I can't thank the school, teachers and staff enough ！.

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 ！

I see that even in Waikiki and Wilson, which are popular public schools, the acceptance rate is about that high. I wonder if the acceptance rate is a little higher in Manoa and Noelani. ？ It seems that the Kinder exam is very competitive, but the level of the exam after elementary school is also very competitive.

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.
