Trevor is outside that top 20, so don’t worry about it.

That’s 21. And there are others better than Trevor by a mile. It’s bad and if that’s your only private option you should go public, invest the money in the S&P, and give your kid a few million to buy a condo when he or she is an adult.
I've definitely heard way more negative commentary about CGPS than Trevor. Why would you say it's a "bad" school? What makes it bad?
People are negative because they’re anti semitic and use code words like new money or flashy when describing the community. It has a much more prestigious history, generous alumni base, and time tested programs. Matriculation bears that out.
I'm Jewish and I'll say it - CGPS is a bad school. My kid went there and we pulled her out. All privates are full of new money but the CGPS crowd stands out for being the least grounded and snootiest. FA kids were bullied. Non-white kids were subjected to racism. This was all within the last 5-7 years.

Yep. Trevor is 3T. It is not in the top dozen schools, not even close
Trevor is 2T. It has become a lot harder to get into and has had better exmissions than in the past. Some people are still living in 1992. A lot of people also don't want to deal with the TT BS so are choosing previously less popular schools. The attitude of some of the posters here reinforces why.
If Trevor is 2T then there isn’t a 3T other than schools catering to learning disabilities. Parents at decent preschools lose their minds with Trevor as the e outcome. It’s not a good school

What would you say are the top dozen schools?
Idk what the exact dozen are. Here’s 12 ones head and shoulders above Trevor, there’s plenty of others too

I would rather my kid get the polish and small class sizes of private school when they are young (and avoid public middle which is a shitshow). They can move to SH and not compete with legacies/donors.

TT: the snobby schools that won't take your kid but they're pressure cookers anyway and the college admissions impact is negligible
2T: the actually-just-as-strong-as-that-and-the-environment-is-so-much-nicer school that did take your kid
3T: the crappy schools that only seriously troubled kids go to and that naive parents waste their money on when they should just send their kid to public school
