[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently Abbey parent and new poster. I’ll
 say what no one else has said yet: The school
And the academics are wonderful. The college counseling is atrocious!!! There should be more boys going to higher level schools and it’s not because they aren’t trying or can’t afford it. It’s  for a few reasons. First despite what some say there is ZERO grade inflation at the Abbey. It’s incredibly rigorous for colleges to look at 30 boys in this current class and see several with 4.0 does not tell the whole story. Those boys have worked their butts off. Second, the college counselors are old and out of touch and college admissions counselors do not know the abbey. We picked the Abbey for our son knowing this based on what parents said but really didn’t understand the extent of it. The one, most awful counselor is retiring but keeping him in the job for so long was a grave disservice to the students. There are a few schools that know the Abbey well.. Chicago is one of them and three boys are going this year. It’s ridiculous that those families all strategically applied there knowing that it’s one of the few top schools
That know the Abbey. I’m sure any one of those boys would have applied or an IVY if they thought they had a chance of getting in. Abbey boys are well prepared for college without doubt… but the school in no
Way gives them any help with college admissions. [/quote]

This is very rude. Those men are kind and dedicated and do not deserve this public humiliation.[/quote]
