[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA does not have a national reputation, sorry. The only schools that do are Phillips Exeter, Andover, and Choate. A few other schools people may know nationally are Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Middlesex, Groton, Northfield Mt. Hermon, Taft, Ethel Walker, and Miss Porter's. Out west the upper and upper middle class have only really heard of these top schools because they are boarding schools and people will consider sending their kids there for high school. STA is not even on their radar. Its boarding program is insignificant and not attractive to most people, especially anyone nationally.[/quote]

Even those high schools are unknown to most people unless they live in the area or are in the small world of people who might actually be able to attend them. That is a very small world. The other category of people who know about them are kids from elsewhere who end up at at expensive private colleges in the NE, and they they hear about the schools from their classmates (even though they would never bother to talk about their own high schools, since they'd moved on in life, lol). And kids don't talk about those schools because of the academics, rather to signal social class and money (even if you went on scholarship).
