sure ....Chaminade is the best by wide margin

No kids love Chaminade. LOL
Every kid I've asked said it sucks. They are there for the education. Granted. But stop with the, "he loves it" BS.

The parents are the best - whats arrogant about that?

Guess your kid didn't make it to Chaminade.... no worries I'm sure your children will turn out better than you.

exactly how much of the student body have you surveyed. You need a new hobby.

What's to love about sitting on a train for hours, while the hometown boys are going Ivy, lol!

The insecurity of chaminade parents is sad, spend so much time telling everyone how great it is. great organizations stand on their own, don't need constant bragging to reinforce their standing. Nobody is that impressed with chaminade except the parents that send their kids there, which isn't difficult to do - above average to get in and not expensive. Can't hold a candle to real private schools.

I went to a real private school and trust me- academics are a lot harder and valued at Chaminade. Private schools are full of wealthy parents that buy their kids into better schools and out of trouble. My friends would have been better off in a public school or an institution like Chaminade. The one thing that they both have in common- the exclusivity of being on the inside. You only know the real deal if you are part of it and quite frankly, no one on the inside cares what others truly think. If you truly don't give a damn about Chaminade and you feel it's worthless, than why waste time and energy putting it down? The Chaminade families know what they have, the private schools know what they have. Anyone can go to public school and find out what they have- and that's the difference- public is just that- open to all. Are there some great ones? Sure are! I think public school can be great for most. That said, there must be something that makes Chaminade the most competitive school on LI. If it wasn't all that, the numbers would have declined and other schools woukd be pulling the top candidates. As for the cost- who cares that it is less expensive than the elite prep schools? Regis is free, so does that make it less prestigious than others?

Chaminade is not the most prestigious school on LI. I've yet to see an Intel finalist, or for that matter semifinalists come out of there. I've also seem many graduates go to Hofstra. That's not prestigious.

Can somebody show a ranking where Chaminade stands in relation to Regis, Stuyvesant, Exeter and other private schools?

When has anyone claimed anything about Chaminade in relation to these three other schools?

I certainly don't know anyone who would argue that Chaminade would "beat" any of these schools in a head-to-head comparison, at least not one based on any academic metrics.

why does this Chaminade bashing forum continue to go on & on?..it would seem that the administrators of this site have a bit of a bias against Chaminade (Catholic schools too)and are really enjoying the snide and snippy remarks that seem to never end?..haven't we gotten away from Lax discussion and now sunk to new lows by bashing schools?...God forbid we should dirt someone/something that the administrators of Back of the Cage support...move on already..
I am sure this wont get posted but what the heck..

Because the annoying Chaminade parents keep posting obnoxious, self promoting and arrogant comments - you all ask for it

JUST LEAVE CHAMINADE ALONE. YOU CAN HOPE THAT MAYBE IN YOUR NEXT LIFE.... YOUR CHILD MARRIES INTO THE CHAMINADE FAMILY...

If I recall, Syosset, a TOP NOTCH academic public school also smoked Chaminade in lax last season. And I mean smoked, 16-4 or something like that.

by smoked you mean a pre-season scrimmage....

Post Syosset's roster from last year amd list all of the schools the seniors are going to and make sure you include the kids who did not step on the field and compare to Chaminade roster. Then look at the top, lets just use 8 teams in the country and see how many Syosset players are on the rosters compared to Chaminade.

We are just talking lacrosse here

Oh, OK. So now the best Chaminade kids didn't play???? What is this, MLB spring training???? Look, Chaminade is a good school and has a decent lacrosse program but when you start throwing around words like "elite, best, etc" then be prepared for a response. Especially from a best in class academic and lacrosse program like Syosset's. A public school, gasp.......

Where are all those great chaminade kids on the US Lacrosse U19 team? Oh yea, none made it !

They're all in IVY League playing lax. Where's your kid? Probably couldn't make it in to college.

At this point I'm almost convinced that this entire thread is being argued from both sides by a single 11-year-old.
