Would you believe a Massachusetts high school began in 1645?

That is not a typo. Roxbury Latin, a private school for boys in grades 7 - 12, was started in 1645 and will soon be celebrating its 375th birthday. It is not a big school, only 300 students and it has a student-teacher ratio of 7-1. 38% are "boys of color." 36% of the students receive financial aid, the average being almost $25,000 (tuition is $34,550). 85% of the faculty have advanced degrees; a third have been here for 15 years or more. 100% of the graduates go on to college; 47% receive National Merit Scholar recognition.

Two of my sons attended the school.
