| OP, what do you really want to know? Which school, on average,gives the most homework? Has the hardest grading? Or are you measuring not average, but just the strongest kids's classes? Or the weakest? If your question is serious and not just seeking to stir the pot,it needs to be more focussed and the answers may surprise you if you apply objective metrics - and may include a wider group of schools. |

| Not really possible for any one of us to answer. While a few might have experience at more than one private, most of us have kids at one private school. We see how rigorous the academics are for that school, but we don't really have a basis for comparison to all schools. |

| You're kidding - right? there are 4 million threads on this very subject so I assume you're just baiting to start yet another anonymous online battle. Good luck. |

| Whichever school best engages your child in the learning process. Rigor without engagement is like howling at the moon. There is no point to it. |
