Vomit. Few would agree that they are top schools, though I would agree that they are boarding schools. [ Reply | More

Exeter, Andover, St. Paul's, Groton, Lawrenceville are top 5. Rounding out the top 10 are Deefield, Choate, Taft, Miss Porter's, and Peddie. [ Reply | More

Peddie is a really nice boarding school... for stoners who can't get into the really good schools. (Please, I know - my cousin taught there.) [ Reply | More

Lawrenceville isn't top 5. It's below Taft, Middlesex and Loomis. I would plave both Deerfield and Choate higher. Anyone who puts Peddie on a list of top schools loses all credibilty. [ Reply | More
