However, it should be noted that other schools are making impressive showings as well. These schools include Excel Academy, Boston Prep, Academy of the Pacific Rim, Boston Collegiate (my former school) and Edward Brooke (my current school). It's frustrating to watch Whitney Tilson and others continue to praise the same schools over and over. On the other hand, I don't see many people out there shining clarifying lights on the Uphams Corner Charter Schools of the world that make charters seem like a bad idea...
