I would warn parents, however, that high school is not just about the academic experience. These years are the most important in terms of emotional and social growth.

Our daughter will attend BG next year and she is thrilled to have the opportunity to attend a school that her brother speaks so highly of. There is a reason why so many BG alum send their own children to the school - it's that good. I don't understand the 11/17/2007 comment about the faculty.
