I, too, would have given Mitty 5 stars Freshmen year. By senior year, one marvels at the school's priorities. Strengths: Ideal for career athletes & drama students. Has some fine teachers & AP courses. Assemblies & Monarch Madness are a delight. Weaknesses: Non-honors/non-AP classes are poor. Many

The placement record at top colleges is far weaker than at other private schools. Extracurriculars are brutally competitive & political. Academics take a back seat to sports, theater & fund-raising.The school values championships above all and gives athletes special treatment. If your kid is aiming for a selective college, hopes to play Varsity, or participate in the touted extracurrics, think twice. All of the above can happen, but it is rare. Far more likely at Bellarmine, St. Francis or a public school. Read less
