[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I am sure someone could be very successful coming out of any of these four schools, they are not all of the same quality.  That is not living in the past; it is simply the reality.
Generally speaking, Prep is the best school for academics.  Landon is a close second.  Prep and Landon are not as diverse as Bullis, but in my (non-URM) opinion, they are fairly diverse.  Prep does not have block scheduling, which means a student attends all of his classes every day.  My son found this to be a bit of a grind, because every night he was scrambling to complete homework in multiple classes (sometimes in every single class).  Prep and Landon have some very good students, but they are not the Big 3 in terms of percentage of very good students in a class.
The faculty at Prep is fairly liberal and certainly would not condone sexism.  Nor do I believe would the faculty at Landon.  Charges of sexism are commonly aimed at all-male schools.  I never saw sexism at Prep, but I cannot say for sure whether it exists.
OP, you say you are focused on academics and networking, and to a lesser degree sports.  I would go with Prep or Landon.[/quote]

The teachers at Prep teach the boys the phrase “bros before hos.”

Prep has a history of sexual hazing acts - including at school assemblies!

People say all boys schools are sexist because they usually are.

I grew up in this area and I would never ever have dated anyone from prep, and I would never send my son there. Landon is a little bit better but not by much and they have a huge cheating problem.[/quote]

I went to Prep and I would never have dated you.  You sound like a small-minded and shrill ignoramus.  Obviously not all boys not even most boys at Prep are as you allege.  Prep is quite diverse and much more so than it used to be which is a very good thing. [/quote]

So note the use of the word shrill here by a Prep alum. If you want your son to be the kind of man who puts women down by referring to them as shrill, by all means send him to Prep![/quote]

So there are no shrill women?[/quote]
