That's not even true. They have two Ivy recruits this year, yet have ten kids going to Ivies overall. It's nice of you to make assumptions, though.
I don't have a Landon connection but I googled last year's Ivy admits and somewhat to my surprise, I admit, the majority did not appear to be athletes. So, just goes to show it is good to test assumptions.

That's not true. Why would you bash Landon? You are not a Landon parent.

It's not ugly to speak the truth -- I have nothing against Landon. It's just that they only excel at lax and are fine, but not the best at football.

Any sport is an excellent sport at Landon. I can't understand why you would say such ugly things about Landon.

We know they're good at lax, but they don't stand out any more than any other school in other sports.

Sidwell will always be better than Landon but that doesn't mean that Landon isn't good.

Why is that ridiculous to say? My son has been in LS and MS at Landon. I can tell you--they don't do anything about it.

Of course there will be fights at any school. But an earlier poster wrote that Landon does nothing about it and that is ridiculous to say.

PP, yes. Haven't heard of a fist fight in US, but some in LS and MS.
