[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think there is one person who seems to be obsessed with TJ, Blair and Exeter. The rest of the posts are much more balanced and not obsessed with PSAT scores. To read the one poster though apparently our children are doomed if they do not attend one of those 3 schools. 2 of them require living in specific school jurisdictions and then passing the rigorous testing to get in. The 3rd is a boarding school. So apparently those of us who are not willing to send our sons to boarding school or move to Fairfax or MoCo may as well pack it in now. Totally bizarre outlook in my opinion but to each his own. Actually I understand the school with the highest average SAT scores is actually a school in Korea. So maybe that poster better send her son there if she cares only about the scores. [/quote]

Does STA have any boarding students?  Or, does PEA have special advantages because it's a boarding school, which explains PSAT results and prize winning?  Perhaps PEA should incrfease tuition for day students?

STA has a few boarding students - under 20 total i think (probably on their website).  Exeter has an advantage in that it draws nationally rather than from a limited geographic area.  Any of the local day school are going to be limited to people who are in commuting radius.[/quote]
