[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at K-8 boys' schools for next admissions cycle. I've heard St. B's is the most academically intense. Any major differences b/t Buckley & St. D's academically?[/quote]

That is correct on St. Bs. Buckley is a mile away from St.Ds academically and it’s only getting better (and more competitive) each year. This will be obvious once you do your tours, attend discussions, etc. it was pretty shocked at how unfazed and uninformed St.D’s was on AI compared to quite literally all the TT CoEds and Buckley, St.B, etc. [/quote]

Is St D closer to AS?[/quote]

Slightly notch below, academically [/quote]

Is AS higher or lower, academically? We’re considering these 2 [/quote]

I have heard from a few sources that it's St. David's then Buckley then Allen Stevenson. I've heard Saint David's and Buckley are close, but Buckley puts far more emphasis on athletics.  This aligned with what we saw in person as well.[/quote]

I agree. If your sole concern is academics, then Saint David's. If sports are also important to you, then Buckley. AS is a step below either academically, but is the most progressive of the three and most tolerant of "active" boys, if that matters to you.[/quote]

Does St David’s have better emissions than AS and Buckley?[/quote]

Most of the K-8 schools just provide lists of schools their boys attend with "greatest frequency." A couple years ago, I got ahold of Saint David's actual numbers over a five year period and they were quite good. Over half of boys went to TT NYC day schools and TT boarding schools. There was a lot of Regis in this (28 boys in five years), which I consider a positive, as you can't count on legacy to get you in. Then about 15% of boys went to other religious schools. Many of which, I assume by choice. I feel this is not as good as St. B's, but am not completely sure how this compares to Buckley/AS. I suspect favorably.[/quote]
