[quote=Anonymous]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 ?[/quote] I think a lot of the hate comes from it being so competitive to get in and you needs to have some hooks to get in - family ties, affluent family, star athlete, diverse, etc. And then with the family ties/affluent family types you get a lot of snobbish moms and dads so that just gives the school a bad look. BUT, you still have your normal families and good kids so it really is a perception that people have that is untrue.[/quote]
