Roxbury Latin SSAT score?
2230 in 2007. In 2008, the median scores were as follows: Critical Reading = 750; Math = 750; Writing = 750. These statistics were published in the July 2008 edition of The Roxbury Latin Newsletter. The Newsletter does not list a median overall score, but the medians on each section suggest the overall score median rose at Roxbury Latin in 2008. According to The Newsletter, a significant number of perfect scores were recorded by the Class of 2008: 33% of the entire class scored 800 on the Critical Reading section; 14% scored 800 on math; 27% scored 800 on Writing. In fact, an astonishing 10% of all students in the class scored double 800s (1600 on Critical Reading and Math) and 8% scored triple 800s (2400 total; a perfect score on all three sections). The same issue of The Newsletter mentions that one of Roxbury Latin's seventh graders (that's right, kid presumably 12 years old) achieved nearly perfect scores on the SAT in the Johns Hopkins Talent Search. This kid was the only seventh grader in Massachusetts to score above 1500 (Critical Reading + Math; the Talent Search apparently doesn't consider scores on the Writing section). Roxbury Latin has a phenomenal number of brilliant students. No wonder so many end up at the nation's best colleges: In 2008, 41% went on to Ivy League schools and MIT; those who chose other schools went to great places like Amherst, Williams, and Swarthmore. Looking at Roxbury Latin's matriculation list, roughly 3 out 4 graduating students will enroll at colleges that are among the country's most selective.

What is the acceptance rate at Roxbury Latin?
Generally 10% to 15%, depending on the year. The 2009 edition of Peterson's Private Secondary Schools reports that for fall 2007, 447 students applied and 63 were accepted (14.1%). This appears to make Roxbury Latin the most selective private secondary school in the country. Peterson's reports the following acceptance rates during the same year at other elite private schools: Phillips Andover (19.7%), Phillips Exeter (22.0%), Groton (19.6%), Noble and Greenough (20%). Another indication of a school's desirability is its yield (the percentage of accepted students who actually enroll). Here again, Roxbury Latin stands head and shoulders above all other schools. Its yield for the fall of 2007 was a phenomenal 91% (indeed, in one recent year, Roxbury Latin had the unheard of yield of 100%). To put these figures in context, in the same year that Roxbury Latin had a 91% yield, Andover was a distant second at 73.8%, followed by Exeter (68.7%), Nobles (60%), and Groton (56.1%). To put Roxbury Latin's yield in further context, Harvard's yield for college freshmen--which is by far the highest among all major U.S universities--hovers around 80%. Roxbury Latin is truly in a class by itself when it comes to selectivity and desirability among secondary schools.
