[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering for next year. How do you rank these and what has been your experience - both good and bad?

St. Anselm, Landon, STA, GPrep and the Heights….[/quote]

Ranking according to # of graduates who matriculated to Harvard, Princeton and MIT from class of 2018-2020 on polarislist.com:

STA #89
Gonzaga #176

Landon, GPrep, and Heights all tied at #892

Dematha #1533
St Anselm #3459

This does not take into account class size…

This is literally the stupidest reason to pick a school. Look at the course offerings, how happy the kids are, sports, facilities, traditions, whether your son feels at home on his visit. These are all great schools. The boys getting into Harvard or Princeton or MIT are likely to have gotten into Harvard or Princeton REGARDLESS of where they went to high school. I know boys that went to these schools from boy STA and Gonzaga. Some were recruited for sports (even the MIT admit). Many have legacy connections. I can tell you that one particular boy I could have predicted in 2nd grade that he would end up at a very top school. Kid has always stood out from other kids his age. Naturally smarter and genius level talent in an extracurricular. Yes, you could see this talent as a young child. This was a truly exceptional child that wasn’t pushed to be like this, just is gifted. He would be at a top school whether he went to Gonzaga, Sidwell, Wilson or Burke.
