[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd move Collegiate up to Tier 1. Really top of the top are Trinity, Brearley, Collegiate.

I'd move Regis up (it's a school where unhooked kids get into HYP) to Spence level.

St Ann's is not as desirable as it was even 3 years ago. [/quote]

What changed with St. Ann’s? [/quote]

The recent scandal I would imagine?  I would never send my children there after that.[/quote]

They fired everyone involved, the catfishing felon teacher took a deal and will be in prison for a few years - but that plus the suicide case profiled in the NYT turned me off completely. I don’t believe their college rates are good because it’s a good school at all at this point, I think it’s past reputation, legacy donations, and other ineffable things. It never had a rep for rigor or high intellectual activity, did it?[/quote]

St. Ann's is very artsy fartsy. Which is very attractive for some people. But I agree that it was never known for its academic rigor, and the recent situations have brought out into the open what it is. I am a Dem but I always found St. Ann's to be so performatively woke, and the effort to be super kind and forgiving to the horrible teacher blew up.

Ironically, I know a family that is now pretty Trumpy that sent their kid there, but the kid graduated pre-2015 so the world was a different place then.[/quote]
