[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The perceived negative publicity actually helped Prep immensely.  Many of the articles about Kavanaugh often mentioned Gorsuch, Jerome Powell and other illustrious alumni and made reference to its average SAT score of 1386.  The reality is that most families who considered Prep tended to support Kavanaugh, and many families concluded that, notwithstanding any of the bad publicity, the school must be doing something right to have produced two sitting SCOTUS Justices and the Federal Reserve Chair.  Having a long history, great facilities and excellent athletics certainly does not hurt either.  Interestingly, Prep is one of the only schools which publishes a matriculation list that details where each graduate will attend college.[/quote]

Lots of other area schools publish this. [/quote]

You are in la la land if you think that the Kavanaugh circus was "perceived" negative publicity and that more amazingly, it helped Prep "immensely".  That publicity was ALL negative, real and not perceived.  It made Prep look like a bastion of arrogance filled with undisciplined students and faculty.  Granted it was from the 80s, but I went to a school that looked similar to Prep in the 80s, and we had none of that going on.  The yearbook alone was a total disgrace, and that is on the Administration.  Set aside the culture issues that pervaded the school on campus and off campus.  It was a black eye, pure and simple.  That type of laundry is best not hung on the line for all to see ...  [/quote]

If you are so horrified by the Prep yearbook from the 1980s, how do you feel about the incredible offensive STA yearbook that was published in 2015?  Yes, not 35 years ago, 4 years ago!  Why does everyone love to bash Prep for something that happened 35 years ago, but never STA for something worse (sexist, racist, and anti-semitic) that happened just 4 years ago?[/quote]

How about being horrified that Prep actively covered up a sex abuse case 15 years ago. Teachers convinced students to start rumors about the student that reported the abuse. The student made sworn testimony that was false about the accuser, making it impossible for the state to prosecute. All of this illegal activity was orchestrated by the staff at Prep and executed by students. WTF! Seriously, those teacher are still teaching at the school. [/quote]
