Maybe the 45 game streak is conference play only, but my son's team beat them in the Maroon and Black Invitational this fall.

Umm EHS is a good school , but not Lawrenceville good. I'm calling troll on this one.

Back in the day, it was not very rigorous. I went to one of the 'sister' schools. We were always annoyed that our boyfriends had half the homework as us, easier assignments, and could turn in anything and still get a B.

When did EHS go co-ed?

How religious is it? How do agnostic/atheist/humanist kids do there?

My post above -- I should amend: I think Episcopal's soccer program is really outstanding (45-game streak without a loss).

They have really good sports teams - both girls and boys. It's all boarding (no day students at all, unlike most of the boarding schools around here) so you have to want that. I don't know anything about the academics.

I dont know about the hazing but that may have been in the days when it was all boys.

It's extremely expensive and has a beautiful campus. Back in the day, it had hazing ... don't know whether that is still true.
