Having said that, I don’t think one purely enrolls their kids in a private school because of college matriculation. The families we know who have boys at GP have been very happy with the school. Not sure why GP isn’t much liked on this forum.

Its that for certain? Are you making an assumption or is it a fact? Seems unfair.

I haven’t seen any official stats but I’m an immigrant myself and I know children of friends from my home country who didn’t have nearly all the extracurriculars that the US kids have get accepted into top colleges and Ivies. I’ve also heard it from other immigrant friends from other countries. Granted, these are all well rounded kids from excellent private schools in their home countries who have excellent grades, but I’ve seen local kids with similar profiles get rejected at the same colleges .

I suppose they do bring diversity and also the schools can claim world-wide appeal.

How many students does Prep have (average) in HS grades? I had no idea they enrolled so many students from China. What percentage are international students?

According to Niche, 20% of student body boards, so safe to say 20% are international. The total school population is approximately 500.

It’s not true at all.

About 20% board but not all are international. Many are from other States. I don't know about the exact split though

Northeastern is a highly coveted school. There is clearly a troll who keeps posting who has an issue with Catholic schools. Anyway happy for this special group of young men. They will go on to do great things!

Right? We are planning for our 7th grader to apply to Prep next year. We know a few families there who speak so highly of the school and have been very happy. Somehow though, the school is not as favorably regarded on this forum … is there anything we are missing or need to know ?

Catholic family here. Catholic schools all the way through grad school. Still have a couple in the late grade school years. Prep isn't what it used to be. The k-8 matriculation is weak compared to other area Catholic schools. The college outcomes are not on par with other privates, or publics for anyone comparing. It is not an anti-catholic issue. It's the school. Lots of people see through the presentation and polish, know the past is past, and correctly place it is as the weakest of area independent schools. Country club campus. Sub-standard school.

Not all boarders are from China. Seems to be several Russian kids too.

Hello troll hope you are doing well. Numbers to get in this school this year were very tough so many people appreciate a Catholic education.

Absolutely. Plus GP currently has two alumni on the Supreme Court. Fabulous place to get an education
