Editorial review summary
Parents and students describe the school as a 'powerhouse' of resources and opportunities. The 'Old Boys' alumni network is frequently cited as a massive long-term benefit for careers. Reviews highlight the incredible facilities, particularly for athletics and arts, which rival university campuses. However, some feedback points to a 'pressure cooker' environment where the workload can be intense. On forums like Reddit, there are occasional mentions of a 'snobby' or elitist culture, and the high cost of tuition is a common barrier. Admissions are noted as transparent but highly competitive, often requiring SSAT scores and interviews.
