Yep, Top Test Prep - a local SSAT, SAT, ACT prep company just released their rankings of the best boarding schools:

There is another great raking site here. It measures the bottom line. College matriculation. All of the schools are Top notch. The top boarding school in the DC area (two hour drive or less) is Saint Andrew's School in Delaware. http://matriculationstats.org/boarding-school-stats |
Groton definitely belongs it "top" and so do Milton and Lawrenceville. |
I agree. Groton, Milton and Lawrenceville are top top tier by anyone's standard. Georgetown prep?!? You've got to be kidding... |
These are the top 20 boarding schools in America. Any one of them will provide a fantastic education and community:

Western Reserve Academy in Cleveland is also top-notch (and has boarders.)

Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, Choate, Saint Andrew's, St. Paul, Hotchkiss, Middlesex, Milton, Peddie, Lawrenceville, Groton are all top notch East Coast boarding schools. In the West there is Thatcher and Cate which are also top notch. There are surely others as well. And there is no way to rank these schools individually, because they all have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it truly depends on the student and how much the individual student is willing to put into their schooling. Andover, Exeter and Choate have high name-ID with kids, which explains their obsession with those names. But College Admissions people know all of these schools very well.

This is the best listing. I tend to go with two categories as are the very important: Endowment size per student and average SSAT scores.
