Apparently not. That is the nerds leaving part.

I would agree with this. The top 10% are very similar at both schools. However, the bottom 75% or so at STA are much stronger than the bottom 75% at Prep. There are few to no kids at STA that aren't very academic kids. The college admissions also reflect this--the top 10 or so are similar but the bottom 75% admits at STA are much stronger than the bottom 75% at Prep.

It’s not the bottom 75%, that’s a gross exaggeration. These schools are far more similar academically and in regards to student intelligence and drive than some would like to admit. I would say the bottom 25% at Prep is less academically inclined than the bottom 25% at STA. Other than that their student bodies are rather similar in regards to intelligence, academic interest, focus, and drive

I'll give STA its due for academics, but to claim Prep is in the same league and better than Landon is simply not true. The top 10-15 % of kids at all three schools are likely similar. The depth of great students at STA is simply greater than at Landon or Prep. I believe Landon is a better academic school than Prep overall, but I will accept that they are equal for the sake of the previous poster.

Sorry, but this is incorrect. Prep is superior academically to Landon. It is closer to STA academically. Kids who can't handle STA's academics transfer to Landon, Bullis, and St. Andrews. They don't go to Prep because it is fairly equal in academic rigor.

Sorry to you. You are full of shit.

Lovely language, shows your true character. Maybe if you went to a academically stronger school or truly understood what that looked like then you would have a greater vocabulary to draw from in order to express yourself more appropriately. STA and Prep are far more similar than Landon academically. The only thing Landon and Prep have in common is that they are both stronger athletically than STA. Facts, they're important.

"Prep's 1350 to Landon's 1340 to St. Albans 1410 means Prep and Landon are a lot closer than Prep and St. Albans.

I guess that 10 points really means a lot to the Prep Fan Base. A way for them to think they are head and shoulders above, when they simply are not, very similar but Catholic."
So 10 pts, huh? That is your fact? The fact is you are clearly a jackass.

Do you know how to read or do you just not comprehend? Prep's average SAT score is 1386 not 1350. Landon's is 1320. All according to their websites not some random inaccurate website.

so you are the definite source for all things academic at these schools? The fact is all 3 are good and Prep is definitely closer to Landon than to STA. And you are still a complete jackass.

Prep's scores are very skewed and anyone who is rather familiar with the school knows this.

Let's call a spade a spade, the international boarding students at Prep, in particular from Asia (South Korea, China), has been a big lift to GP's test scores.

I would much rather see the medium ACT and SAT scores across these 3 schools.

STA’s average SAT is higher than 1410, closer to 1500. Don’t know where you got that number but it’s outdated and/or wrong.

From STA's website. 1410 is the correct number, your number is way off.

Doesn’t matter what their SAT average is their college matriculation is still similar to a top public school.
