Yup. Bro-in-law went there on a scholarship. VERY good reputation.
Don't automatically assume you'll have great success there tho. He's doing pretty well. Got a PhD eventually. However, my wife (his sister) went to the local public magnet school and is doing just as well as him while having paid a ton less for schooling. She even got into a better undergrad than him.
If you have a local public school option that is pretty close, it might not be worth the cost. That was the point of my example.

Prestigious school where (to me) all the rich kids go. Several high-ranking politicians went there (I know George Bush senior, for one). I used to live in the area, but didn't know anyone who went there. It was a nice, New England style campus.

It's one of the most highly regarded private prep schools in the country - if not the world.
