As an education professional who works in the field of Private Secondary Schools, I can without a doubt give this Peterson's publication the highest recommendation possible. The guide is easy to use and quite informative. While not all schools are presented in the format of a wonderfully detailed one to two page article, most 9-12 private day or boarding schools in the United States are included. At the very least, you will be able to investigate the following areas at each school: Academics, Athletics, Endowment, Number of Faculty members (a breakdown of how many hold Bachelors, Masters or Ph.Ds), Physical Plant, Amount of Financial Aid given last year, Applied vs. Accepted Statistics & Contact information.I have worked with many families who were exploring the idea of sending their child to private school. This guide has been their Bible. Whether a family is familiar with independent education or is just being introduced to the idea, I promise that this guide will be your best reference throughout both the exploration and application process. A campus visit and a school's own literature are of course always the best sources of information. The Peterson's guide, however, will help a family to determine which schools are a good match and will best meet their needs, thus making the best of each campus visit.
This book gets my highest recommendation--and I'm a huge critic! Just reading the intro helped me get a complete overview of how to find the perfect school for me, develop a great admissions strategy, Independent Day schools vs. Semester schools, and it has awesome tips on how to secure the best financial aid. Not to mention the 1,500 schools at my fingertips! Worth every dime.
