This book gives you all the important information that you need. It lists tuition, SAT averages, AP course information, how many applicants,how many accepted and how many enrolled, how many girls and boys, sports and extra curricular activities offered, student-teacher ratios, number of faculty and how many have advanced degrees, examples of what colleges their students attend after graduation, and contact information. It makes it easy to compare schools. However, it does not give any information on what percentage of admissions are legacies, siblings, students given preferential status for being children of faculty, board members, etc. That would certainly be very interesting!
This is a great summary reference for private secondary schools. I especially liked the fact that it also listed the schools that provided learning disability assistance seperately.
