I believe OP is asking about tiers in cost only; the cost tiers do not correlate to reputation or academic quality of schools.[/quote]

Except the most expensive 5/6 PP names ARE the top schools in the area by academic rigor and reputation, minus perhaps Holton. [/quote]

Not sure I follow this comment, but if you're saying the above list an exhaustive list of area privates with comparable rigor, I disagree.  SAAS at a minimum, and probbaly GPS, Visi, Gonzaga, SR are in the same academic league as (if not superior to) some of those schools.[/quote]

The schools - Sidwell, NCS, STA, GDS, Potomac and Maret - that were listed as most expensive are also the most academically rigorous and elite/competitive in the DC area.  The only school that isn't on that list that belongs is Holton.

If you think GPS, Visi, Gonzaga, and SR are in that same academic league you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  St Anselms may well be able to, but none of the other top tier Catholic schools are at the same academic level of rigour.  Its not even close.  The top tier Catholics, as good as they are, still have a constituency they are required to serve so have to accept and teach to a wider swath of academic ability and therefore will never reach the top level of academic rigor.  They can't if they want to pass most of their students.
