[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except those are not metrics anyone has.  You are just babbling.[/quote]

What specifically are not metrics anyone has? [/quote]

I think they are metrics that parent's who go to private schools other than Saint Anselm's has.  However, SAAS is a faith community.  The primary concern of the vast majority of SAAS parent's top concern is that their sons grow up to be good caring decent human beings. From the list of metrics PP gave, they just are not the kind of person who will ever consider SAAS special, more's the pity.[/quote]

I agree with the above. If people are looking for metrics, specific data and outcomes to determine the benefits an education at SAAS will give their son, they might not find those on paper. Remarks that the matriculation data is not that impressive, or the grounds are not top-notch, or any number of things that people like to compare do not account for the non-quantifiable experience that the boys have there. The school is committed to providing a classical education to the boys, in the setting of a challenging, yet tremendously supportive and kind environment.

As a parent, I cannot be more grateful that my son spent his high school years there. They were transformative. That sounds a little hokey and melodramatic, but it is true. If you are at all interested, please check it out. And by check it out, I mean visit and see what the school has to offer. It will be much more informative than data points on a piece of paper.[/quote]
