While I'll admit to being a subject troll here, it's not out of any feelings of vulnerability or inadequacy.  Quite the contrary, it speaks to deep feelings of inadequacy for somebody to need to engage in a venomous argument over whether any particular school is "better" than any other.  I'm not knocking any of the schools discussed here.  Rather I'm knocking the people who spend 9 pages kicking dirt all over each other over statistically and tangibly meaningless distinctions.  Whether a child goes to Andover or Sidwell, they're going to get a top-notch education from a well-regarded school that all but guarantees a successful future.  But, at this level, any difference in final result will have more to do with the specific child than any difference between the schools.  Therefore my assertion that parents who go to such lengths to argue over meaningless distinctions are more concerned with measuring their "potency" against others than they are with the actual quality of education that their children are receiving.
