The recent acceptance letter from Brooks alluded to (did not use the term acceptance rate) an acceptance rate of less than 10% this year. That appears to be lower than Andover’s 14%. Any thoughts on that? Is Brooks a “hot” school this year? e.g. a growing reputation? Or is this simply a difference in the wway the acceptance stats are presented?



It could be. Andover High School has had a very difficult year. The teachers have been working to rule this year: [url=Teachers tentative contract agreement crumbles | Local News | andovertownsman.com]Teachers tentative contract agreement crumbles Andover Townsman, Andover, MA/url
There have been some publicized lawsuits.
The school system is dropping Latin and German.

If I were a resident of Andover, I would be investigating private options too.
