[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]can anyone speak to the differences between HarvardWestlake and Flintridge Prep besides size? Thanks.[/b][i] [/quote]

You should consider Polytechnic School in Pasadena.  It bridges those two schools in that it draws the top students, has the academic rigor, and college matriculation stats of, or even better than, Harvard Westlake, but has the intimate size (between 98-110 students in a high school class) of Flintridge Prep.  Poly is more like Sidwell, I suppose, if you are looking for a local comparison, and I agree that Flintridge Prep is more like Maret, or perhaps the Potomac School (but with much more diversity, it is L.A. after all).[/quote]

[b]Not OP, but Pasadena is not a reasonable commute from Brentwood area.[/b][/i] [/quote]

I agree with you, but the question I am responding to appears to be from a poster who is considering Harvard Westlake (Studio City) and Flintridge Prep.  Since Flintridge Prep is located in La Cañada - which in turn is located next to Pasadena - I assume that the poster who posted that question is either (1) not the original poster; or (2) is the original poster, who has now decided to live outside Brentwood, and is therefore considering schools farther afield.  Because you are right, neither Pasadena nor La Cañada, are a reasonable commute from the Brentwood area.

Here are some links on west coast schools from another thread on the subject.
