On Monday, September 14, Rivers hosted parents of the Class of 2027 for Grade 12 Parent Night with the College Counseling team. The evening provided an opportunity for parents to gather information about what to expect in the months ahead as students navigate the college application process and emotions that follow—balancing senior excitement and nerves about the journey ahead.

Though it’s only January, many members of the Rivers Class of 2026 have a good idea where they will be next fall, showcasing the strength of Rivers’ college-bound students in a highly competitive college admissions landscape. As of the last week in January, 92% of students who submitted early decision, early action, restrictive early action, or rolling admission applications have been accepted to at least one college, and 64% of students applying through early decision I or restrictive early action were admitted. Currently, 51% of the class has completed the process and enrolled.
