[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what exactly is this ranking of?

reputation, college admissions, students intellect, rigor of classes?

I just think it's so hard to rank between the top 7-8 schools - each has it's strengths and weaknesses (relatively speaking).

When we looked at K years ago, Dalton just rubbed us the wrong way.  At the time we liked Riverdale the best.

I think academics wise, HM and Brearley are probably the strongest.

I would take this poster's ranking with a grain of salt. I like to look at Niche and other national rankings. At least these websites use statistics and have a reason behind their rankings. Are they 100 percent accurate? Probably not, but at least it makes more sense and there is data to back it up.

These made-at-home lists are just what people think in their brain without any info to back it up. [/quote]

Niche is very bad, you have no name schools with open admissions before you even hit the 15+ rankings.  National rankings are also worthless because (outside boarding schools) no one moves across the country for a particular HS.  Comparing HM with Chicago Latin is a worthless exercise.

You will find that the TTs have very rigorous academics, all seven of them.  Of that ranking a poster gave (which has a lot of issues), the top 20 are largely accurate based on rigor of the schools and exmissions.  The main issue with it is when you go below 20 and, frankly, at that point the question is whether you are Catholic, want a progressive pedagogy, live in Manhattan or another borough, and other matters that go beyond academic rigor.[/quote]
