[quote=Anonymous]I would look at SAT/ACT scores, AP scores, Nationsl Merit info and college ACCEPTANCE data (and try to account for legacy/sports affect in them).

I don' know about boys' school since we have girls but Stone Ridge was our choice.  My mother-in-law went to Visitation and was more than a little upset with our choice but we just didn't get a good feel about the academics at Visitation.  It might be "harder" to get into but that is not because of it's rigorous academic requirements.

We have found that Stone Ridge offers a very rigorous academic program that is followed by a significant portion of the girls.  We also think they do a fine job of helping the girls manage the workload.  Next year they will be dropping mid-term exams in favor giving the teachers more time to teach.  This should be an interesting experience in general but I think it will really help in the AP classes.  You don't often hear of a school forging a new path on generally accepted practices and I aplaud the upper school admin for trying this out.[/quote]
