[quote=Anonymous]I am very close to GP admissions and academics.  There are alot of comments flying around on this web site.  Here are some facts:

1. There are definitely trolls lurking here per an earlier post regarding lots of students allegedly leaving the school (there are trolls on any good school thread on this board - it is human nature for people to try and tear down others at the top).  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Like other good schools, families are lining up to try to get into Prep.  Once in, most usually stay.  Those that leave are usually because they can't cut it academically or culturally feel out of place.  Again, like any good school, this happens to a few families each year.  The schools remains a top academic institution and has the academic program and variety to challenge the best of studuents.
2. The are very selective with who they admit.  To suggest that Landon is superior in this regard is ridiculous.  A very prominent example is the Huguely kid.  He went to Mater Dei, traditionally a feeder school for Prep.  He was denied acceptance there and was accepted at Prep.  This is related to non-academic considerations.  That said, both school are comparable from an academic results standpoint.  It has nothing to do with their non-academic philosophies and the schools are completely different in that regard.
3. I will not attempt to debate big three here.  But both GP and Landon (whether you like it or not) as well, are clearly in the top 10 academically in the area.
