<p>What is the best school in the country in terms of academics and reputation?</p>
<p>Wow. This is a hard one. There are TONS of AMAZING schools, but going off of MY knowledge and OPINION… </p>
<p>Exeter, Andover, Groton, Deerfield, Middlesex, Choate Rosemary Hall, Lawrenceville, and Milton are AMONG the best.</p>
<p>Oh, and Hotchkiss is a big one. Forgot about that.</p>
<p>And Saint Paul’s. Gosh, I just keep coming up with 'em. haha</p>
<p>Well if you are talking soley about boarding schools, the top three according to Forbes are AES (Andover, Exeter, and St. Paul’s). But if you are including day schools, it is basically pointless if you do not live in NY or Boston because that is where the majority of the top day schools are.</p>
<p>in new york,</p>
<p>collegiate, brearley, HM, and dalton.
<3</p>
<p>really? i thought that dalton was not on the leval of HM, Trinity, Brearly, collegiate etc…</p>
<p>Brearley us by far the best school in the city, but its all girls (sorry guys!)</p>
