Prep school reputations.

<p>There aren't any rankings for Jewish schools, but in 2003 a list of the top hundred private schools in America came out. </p>

<p>Ramaz was the only one on the list (83rd in the country. It was ranked higher than Riverdale Country School, even). There was another Jewish school on it, but I checked the website, and there are like 10 kids in each grade, and they got 1 kid into Priceton, so the results were skewed, which makes Ramaz the best Jewish school in the country.</p>

<p>Also, Ramaz gets a ton of people into Penn and Columbia- we had like 17 kids go to Penn last year, I think, and 8 went to Columbia out of a class of a little more than 100. About 7-8 kids went to Harvard/Yale/Princeton. Ramaz is a good school. </p>

<p>MTA wasn't on the list, but I've heard about it, and it isn't a bad school. SAR is new and their college acceptances aren't so hot yet, and Heschel, I've heard, is a joke school.</p>

<p>What school do you go to now? (you can PM me if you want to)</p>

122

<p>Say, w/a quaker basis?</p>

123

<p>White Mountain School in New Hampshire is outdoorsy.</p>

124

<p>Proctor Academy NH. Almost chewy...</p>

125

<p>Not looking for a ski academy...! Am looking for one for a super bright 8th grader. If anyone knows of Farm and Wilderness, her summer camp she goes to each summer... she wants a school with a similar feel. I know schools are not like camp but if ANYONE has a suggestion....thank you!</p>

126

<p>Have you looked through the schools profiled on <a href="http://www.boardingschoolreview.com?%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.boardingschoolreview.com?&lt;/a> I haven't seen these schools, but I've heard that they foster respect for nature and tend to be outdoorsy: The Putney School, Millbrook, Berkshire and Northfield Mt. Hermon. Well regarded Quaker schools include The George School and Westtown.</p>

127

<p>Seconding Burb Parent's suggestion: NMH - they have a farm program for those so inclined.</p>

128

<p>Maybe it's just because I come from the city, but I honestly don't get how anyone would actually want to live on a farm. I mean, it's smelly, and dirty, and if you don't have to, then why would you? </p>

<p>I'm not attacking anyone who lives on a farm or who likes farms. I just don't understand how it's possible to do so and be happy. Anyone want to enlighten me?</p>

<p>purpoisepal, i attend the cuny honors college at baruch..but im concerning about where my nieces will be attending. my brother is already instilling a notion that a jewish education is paramount to any other, however i know that many yeshivas lack in most other traditional departments (a few around where i live especially...are terrible). i want them to start off with a place in which they will be surrounded by not only a strong sense of their religion, but also a great education all around. problem live is..we live in queens so transportation could be a problem. ;\ maybe i shouldve pmed you.. thanks</p>

131

<p>How old are your nieces and how religious are they? I can't really refer you to any good schools until I know what level of observance they want. Also, how smart are the girls? Like, are they brilliant? Pretty smart? Average? etc. </p>

<p>By the way, transportation (at least into the city) shouldn't be a problem. We have a bunch of kids who commute from Queens at my school. It could definitely be arranged.</p>

132

<p>Do you mean those with the "best" reputations? Depends on your criteria:</p>

<p>Highest % of Ivy/MIT/Stanford- in order:
SPS, Milton, Groton, Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Middlesex, Lawrenceville, Choate</p>

<p>Lowest Acceptance Rates- in order:
Deerfield, SPS, Andover, Hotchkiss, Milton, Exeter, Peddie, Groton, Choate, Lawrenceville</p>

<p>Most "Popular" (highest "yield" - highest percentage of accepted matriculating)- in order:
Andover, Lawrenceville, Exeter, SPS, Choate, Milton, Groton, Taft, Deerfield, Hotchkiss</p>

<p>Endowment/Student- in order:
SPS, Groton, Exeter, St Andrews (DE), Andover, Hotchkiss, Deerfield, Woodbury Forest, Peddie, St Mark's, Lawrenceville</p>

<p>Highest SAT- in order:
SPS, Exeter, Deerfield, Andover, Hotchkiss, Groton, Milton, Lawrenceville, Middlesex, Choate</p>

<p>So SPS will get you into Harvard, Deerfield is elite because it's the toughest to get into, Andover is the flavor of the month, Groton has the cash so you'll be pampered, and Exeter has the brains. Right? Come on - these schools all have great college placement offices, they are all selective, they all have huge endowments and they all have bright students.</p>

<p>Pompous "Prestige" Lists:
"Big 4" or "AESD" - Andover, Exeter, SPS, Deerfield</p>

<p>"Prestige 7" - 4 above plus Hotchkiss, Choate & Lawrenceville</p>

<p>Ten Schools - 7 above plus Hill, Loomis & Taft</p>

<p>"Aldrich 15" - Prestige 7 + Groton, Middlesex, Milton, Taft, St George's, Kent, St Mark's, Brooks</p>

<p>"Select 16" - Prestige 7 + Groton, Middlesex, Taft, St George's, Kent, St Mark's, Episcopal, Woodbury Forest, Hill</p>

<p>If I counted right, there are 20 great schools on these lists. They range in size from 300 to 1,100 students. They range from 50% boarding to 100% boarding. Acceptance rates from 16%-50%. SSAT's average 66th percentile to over 90. Some have strict dress codes, some have Saturday classes, some have dorms for each grade others mix the classes. In other words, these schools are all recognized as top-notch schools but they are very different. </p>

<p>Just to compare two with similar acceptance rates and placement records: Andover has twice as many students as St Paul's. Roughly 30% of Andover's students are day students - SPS is all boarding. As a result, Andover feels much more like a small college. If you really like Andover, you'd probably like Choate more than SPS. If you like SPS the best, you are probably better off applying to Deerfield or Hotchkiss than Andover (smaller schools with a higher % of boarders). But to split hairs, take Hotchkiss and Deerfield - both are remote, rural schools with roughly 600 students. Both have stellar reputations. You would think they would be very similar but they definately have a different feel from one another.</p>

<p>The bottom line is that it all comes down to "fit" - a cliche, but it's the truth. It's more important to spend 3 or 4 years at a school that fits - one where you will be happy - than to pick the school based on acceptance rates or ivy placement or which is the flavor of the month. Visit the schools, talk to the kids and teachers, look at the facilities, see the dorms, taste the food...</p>

<p>What are you interested in? If you have your heart set on swimming competitively, you should mark SPS off the list - even though the school has one of the best pools in New England, they don't have a swim team. You should also see how your times compare with times set by swimmers at the schools you are interested in - can you make the team at Andover or Exeter?</p>

<p>Get the brochures from 10 or 15 schools, look at the websites, think about what you really want and compare your wish list to what each school offers. Then cut the list in half (mix of "reach" schools, "match" schools and a "safety") and fill out the applications. Keep an open mind - you won't know your "dream school" until you tour the campus.</p>

133

<p>Nice post.</p>

134

<p>SPSdad says "you won't know your "dream school" until you tour the campus"</p>

<p>That is so true. We've been surprised thus far that our opinions post-visit haven't match our perceptions or expectations pre-visit.</p>

135

<p>Look at St. Andrew's in Delaware - not New England, but an excellent school and I thought it had a definite outdoors/farm atmosphere.</p>
