Private high school/boarding school ratings

Prep School Admissions

<p>Hi all,
I'm just getting started in my research. Besides the reviews of the handful of top east coast schools in the press does anyone have links to websites/articles that rate and or review all of the other private high schools/boarding schools across the country?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Forbes has a prep school rating

<p>I urge you, however, to consider these rankings lightly. The schools mentioned on here are all excellent institutions of learning. Once you get into the top 20 prep schools, they are all very much alike, and personal preference comes into play. Ask yourself what you want in a school.<br>
Urban or country?<br>
Near a town or isolate?
What type of dorms?
The showers?
The architecture of the buildings?<br>
Course offerings?
Sports played?
Extracurricular activities?
Decide what you want in your school and go ahead from that. You want a school based on fit, no on prestige, otherwise you will not be happy there.</p>
