I think when you look at the "more scientific method" used to calculate the national rankings, the truth becomes very clear. Long Island has quite a few top level programs.

As far a parents go, I think we would all agree that all schools and clubs have their fair share of "A-HOLE big mouth parents" that very often yell and make themselves look extremely foolish. Long Island sure does...Some are even drinking up on the sidelines, some example......

So, yes, I would say that SA, Kellenberg, SJB and OLMA, the 4 that would be in the top 26, with SHA not far behind, could therefore beat the majority of LI publics. Why the need to bash the Catholic school programs?
