[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the key aspects of this list just belatedly dawned on me.  Though the thread is titled "best private schools" the list presumes to rank the "best private HIGH schools."  Many notable K-8 programs don't appear on this list.  And the methodology clearly makes heavy use of data (college placements, SATs, etc.) that only pertains to high schools.

I'm not sure if this list is useful at all for choosing a high school.  But it's clearly not useful for fully weighing one's options in the lower grades.[/quote][/quote]
...unless you are doing what you have to do when it comes to early years and go with your gut while listening to word of mouth about a school, all the while looking at the high school for examples of quality, goals, and your child's future.  I was happy to see my child's school on this list in a pretty good place, confirming our thoughts about the place all along.  Two years in, but we are very pleased, and yes, do believe it is a sign of things to come (also recognizing things can change, but that we can only use the information we have available to make decisions, crystal ball broken and all).[/quote]
