Where are you getting your matriculation data? Not naviance.

Everyone’s kid is different - often the most helpful thing is to talk to families in real life about their experiences and see if it resonates for you and your family.

Yeah, the school has been amazing for our son. The academics are good and rigorous, but he has matured so much—it's really stunning, and it's absolutely the school. He's surrounded by good, hardworking kids and really positive values are stressed. We're not Catholic, and it's not an issue.
