[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always considered Prep to be on the same level as Stone Ridge and VISI, but not anymore.  When you look at the matriculations, SR and VISI are much much stronger.  Many going to top 20 schools on their own merits (as well as some recruits).  It is not as lopsided as Prep, which seems to only get athletes and wealthy Chinese students into the top schools.  Quite disappointing.[/quote]

Well, if getting your son into a top school is your number one overarching priority, then Prep would not be the place for your family. Thank goodness there are other schools for you to choose from.

The families that do choose Prep seem to have a different (and maybe broader) set of objectives and expectations.

I can assure you that the Prep parents are almost universally pleased with the colleges their sons move on to after Prep.[/quote]

Well we chose our Catholic HS for the excellent curriculum and focus on service and Catholic faith.  The great college my kid got into was due to his hard work, and perhaps the fact he did so well in a school with a challenging curriculum.  I don't know why this isn't the outcome for Prep students.[/quote]
