With respect to the original post (OP), only St. George's School made the Top 15 schools based on U.S. college matriculation success. For the most part, what is considered a Tier One vs. a Tier Two school is determined in the marketplace and reflected in verifiable stats such as endowment, selectivity and college placement. But many factors cannot be easily quantified and require a personal visit to each school for evaluation according to one's needs, priorities, likes and dislikes. For example, I find The Culver Academies to be outstanding in many respects, but the military lifestyle is not for everyone. Single sex schools often are outstanding at developing leadership, but, again, most students prefer coeducational environments. Tabor Academy offers sailing and seamanship and, if that is one's priority, then Tabor has to be rated as a top three school.
