But six-plus years ago, Vahmontah got that first bit right. The classic Big-5 boarding schools plus newcomer-to-the-tippy-top Deefield--making it the Big-6, really--with the most exclusive of them all, Groton, forming the absolutely top tier in the world. Their second-tier list is utter shit, though, as it should be Loomis-Chaffee, NMH, Taft, Kent, St. George's, St. Mark's, Middlesex, Miss Porter's for girls. Pomfret maybe.
Since this is just New England schools, even though the top tier would not change, Lawrenceville, Peddie, Mercersburg, and St. Andrew's would be in the second tier if we were talking all boarding schools.
In reality the third tier is pretty fucking solid too but not as strong in any way as the most prestigious schools. Still worthwhile if you want the boarding school experience. Concord, Canterbury, Cheshire, Suffield, Solebury, George, Brooks, Blair, Tabor, Westminster, others.
