[quote=Anonymous]Here is a copy of a post about Landon from another thread.  It provides a few facts about Landon and Landon's most recent class.  Landon's college matriculation is good, and I suspect over the course of five years, equal to any boys' school in the metro area. Maybe St. Albans is a little better, maybe.  I know every school has good and bad facets.  Lots of different kind of boys do well at Landon.

Landon had four of their 77 seniors qualify for Presidential Scholar Consideration. In the past ten years Landon has had the male Presidential Scholar from the State of Maryland three times. That means someone from the Dept. of Ed recognized a Landon Student as the best male student in the State of Maryland three times.
Two boys won Navy ROTC Scholarships to pay their tuition at MIT and UVA.
One boy, who happens to be multiracial and who happens to be the student council president, won a regional award for solo singing at a Competition in NYC.
The Music Program is the best in the Region.
Landon won the Founder's Cup- indicating it had the best overall athletic program of the IAC-Georgetown Prep, Bullis, St. Albans, St. Stephens St. Agnes, and Episcopal Academy.
A senior who will attend Princeton played on their State Championship Hockey Team and has art hanging in Congress as the winner of two National Art Competitions.

One Boy was a Parade All-American in Basketball.
One Boy was a Lacrosse All-American.
One Boy was an Academic Lacrosse All-American.
Two Boys will play in the Under Armor All American Game.

Every school is not for everyone, but Landon is a very good school for boys. If you are posting on this thread because you or your son had a bad experience, I hope you have moved on or your son has found a better place for him. [/quote]
