[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dexter is traditional, sporty, and mostly affluent families and lacks diversity. High school isn’t that good from what I hear

Milton - probably the hardest to get into. Smaller class in K and mostly filled with siblings. Out of the schools you listed, it’s the most prestigious and has the best matriculation rates to college. Getting there is a pain, surrounded by dangerous neighborhoods, and Milton town itself doesn’t have anything to offer except a few coffee shops.

Bb&N - another ongoing school like Milton, smaller, better location, but I would put it a step down from Milton in terms of ranking.

Fessy - centrally located but ends in 8th. You would have to elbow your classmates for placements and many boys place out midway and don’t go onto 8th. Lots of Asian boys who board esp from China and Korea. [/quote]

OP here. Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. Is Dexter solid academically through 8th?[/quote]

Agree with pretty much everything except the characterization of the area around Milton Academy. Very odd to say that the neighborhoods around it are dangerous, the average home price in Milton is over $1M. Some of the neighborhoods of Boston that border the town of Milton are not great (particularly Mattapan) but Dorchester is nothing compared to DC's "dangerous" neighborhoods. [/quote]

Yes - I was referring to Mattapan. You would have to go through that area to get to Milton unless you are driving down from the highway. [/quote]
