'''Phillips Academy''' (also known as '''PA''', '''Phillips Academy Andover''', or simply '''Andover''') is a [[Private school|private]],  [[Mixed-sex education|co-educational]] [[college-preparatory school]] for [[Boarding school|boarding]] and [[Day school|day]] students located in [[Andover, Massachusetts]], a suburb of [[Boston]]. The academy enrolls approximately 1,150 students in grades 9 through 12, including [[Postgraduate year|postgraduate]] students. It is part of the [[Eight Schools Association]] and the [[Ten Schools Admission Organization]].

Founded in 1778, Andover is one of the oldest high schools in the United States. It has educated a long [[List of Phillips Academy alumni|list of notable alumni]] through its history, including American presidents [[George H. W. Bush]] and [[George W. Bush]], foreign heads of state, members of Congress, five [[Nobel Prize|Nobel laureates]] and six [[Medal of Honor]] recipients.

Andover admits students on a [[Need-blind admission|need-blind basis]] and provides [[Student financial aid in the United States|financial aid]] covering 100% of students' demonstrated financial need. 47% of Andover students receive financial aid.

=== Revolutionary-era beginnings ===

The [[American Revolutionary War]] had caused significant upheaval to education in New England, and Phillips Academy filled part of that gap. (For example, [[Boston Latin School]] shut down during the war because its headmaster John Lovell, a [[Loyalist (American Revolution)|Loyalist]], fled to British Canada after the [[Siege of Boston|fall of Boston]] in 1776.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BLS History |url=https://www.bls.org/apps3/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=206116&type=d |access-date=2024-03-18 |website=www.bls.org |language=en}}</ref>) The founders of Phillips Academy were strongly associated with the [[Patriot (American Revolution)|Patriot]] cause.

Several prominent Revolutionary figures maintained links with the academy, including [[George Washington]] (who personally visited the academy while president in 1789;<ref>{{cite book |last1=Fuess |first1=Claude Moore |author-link=Claude Fuess |title=An Old New England School: A History of Phillips Academy Andover |date=1917 |publisher=Houghton Mifflin Company |location=Boston and New York |pages=[https://archive.org/details/anoldnewenglands00fuesrich/page/106 106]–7 |url=https://archive.org/details/anoldnewenglands00fuesrich |access-date=26 November 2018 |chapter=Pemberton, The Polite}}</ref> eight of his nephews and grandnephews attended Andover<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=1928-05-28 |title=Education: At Andover |url=https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,785996,00.html |access-date=2024-03-18 |magazine=Time |language=en-US |issn=0040-781X}}</ref>), [[John Hancock]] (who signed the academy's articles of incorporation), and [[Paul Revere]] (who designed the academy seal). Revere's design of the academy seal incorporated a beehive, crops, the sun, and the academy's two mottos: ''Non Sibi'' ("not for oneself") and ''Finis Origine Pendet'' ("the end depends upon the beginning").<ref name="PA-Seal-Motto">{{cite web |title=Seal & Motto |url=https://www.andover.edu/About/PAHistory/Pages/SealandMotto.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170910173716/http://www.andover.edu/About/PAHistory/Pages/SealandMotto.aspx |archive-date=September 10, 2017 |access-date=October 8, 2015 |work=Phillips Academy Andover Website |publisher=Phillips Academy}}</ref> Other mottos include ''Youth from Every Quarter'' and ''Knowledge and Goodness'', two paraphrases from the academy constitution.<ref name=":16" />

In 1828, all-boys Phillips Academy was joined by a sister school, '''[[Abbot Academy]]'''. Abbot was one of the first secondary schools for girls in New England.<ref>{{cite web |date=1979 |title=A singular school : Abbot Academy, 1828-1973 |url=https://archive.org/stream/singularschoolab00lloy/singularschoolab00lloy_djvu.txt |access-date=August 25, 2014 |publisher=University Press of New England}}</ref> Although the academies had neighboring campuses in the town of Andover, their administrations sought to limit and regulate contact between the student bodies.<ref>Allis, pp. 280, 434-35.</ref> The two academies merged in 1973.

=== Calvinist roots and Exeter rivalry ===
{{See also|Andover–Exeter rivalry}}
Phillips Academy's traditional rival is [[Phillips Exeter Academy]], which was established three years later in [[Exeter, New Hampshire]], by Samuel Phillips' uncle [[Dr. John Phillips|John Phillips]]. Andover and Exeter's sports teams have played each other since 1861,<ref name=":16">{{Cite web |title=History |url=https://www.andover.edu/about/history |access-date=2024-03-16 |website=Andover {{!}} An independent and inclusive coed boarding high school |language=en-US}}</ref> and the football teams have met nearly every year since 1878, making Andover-Exeter one of the nation's [[List of high school football rivalries more than 100 years old|oldest high school football rivalries]].<ref>[http://pdf.phillipian.net/ ''The Phillipian archives''], 1957–2008, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090123220020/http://pdf.phillipian.net/ archived] from the original on 23 January 2009, retrieved 21 January 2009</ref>

From 1808 to 1907, Phillips Academy shared its campus with the [[Andover Theological Seminary]], which was founded by orthodox [[Reformed Christianity|Calvinists]] who had fled [[Harvard University]] after it appointed a liberal [[Unitarianism|Unitarian]] theology professor.<ref>Allis, pp. 120-28.</ref> The Phillips family financially backed the seminary, and the two institutions shared a board of directors.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Benefo |first=Roshan |date=2014-10-23 |title=Andover: A Secular School with Protestant Beginnings |url=https://phillipian.net/2014/10/23/andover-a-secular-school-with-protestant-beginnings/ |access-date=2024-03-16 |website=The Phillipian}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=McLachlan |first=James |title=American Boarding Schools: A Historical Study |publisher=Charles Scribner's Sons |year=1970 |location=New York |pages=228}}</ref>

Andover's commitment to orthodox theology helped fuel the Exeter rivalry. Exeter was more welcoming to Unitarians or at least less religious; for example, unlike Andover, its academy constitution did not compel Exeter to teach the doctrine of [[Sola fide|justification by faith alone]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Williams |first=Myron R. |title=The Story of Phillips Exeter |publisher=Phillips Exeter Academy |year=1957 |location=Exeter, NH |pages=14}}</ref><ref>McLachlan, p. 228 ("The Phillips Exeter Academy, on the other hand, while not formally Unitarian, became so latitudinarian as to be almost nonsectarian.").</ref> As such, Exeter tended to send its students to Unitarian Harvard.<ref>Allis, p. 148 (outlining that due to its closer ties to Harvard, Exeter was "less positively religious in its influence," and "concentrate[d] ... upon its special work of preparing boys for admission to college").</ref> Andover steered its students to [[Yale University|Yale]],<ref>The pattern of strongly favoring Yale began in the 1840s and continued through the 1940s. During those years, when the senior class numbered around forty, Andover graduates matriculated as follows: 1858 – 20 to Yale, 10 to Williams; 1863 – 21 to Yale, eight to Brown, five to Harvard; 1868 – 105 to Yale, 12 to Amherst, 12 to Harvard. The height of matriculation to Yale was 1937, when one freshman in ten at Yale was an Andover alumnus. That year, 74 percent of the class matriculated at Yale, Harvard, or Princeton. By 1957 onldy 47% matriculated at those institutions. Amherst consistently ranked third after Yale and Harvard for many years in this period, but declined after the 1940s when the school sought to admit more public school graduates. In 1950 for the first time in over a century, more graduates were admitted to Harvard than Yale (64 and 46, respectively) (See ''Youth From Every Quarter: A Bicentennial History of Phillips Academy, Andover'', by Frederick S. Allis Jr. (University Press of New England, 1978)).</ref> which was more hospitable to Calvinists.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kuklick |first=Bruce |date=2004 |title=Philosophy at Yale in the Century after Darwin |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/27744995 |journal=History of Philosophy Quarterly |volume=21 |issue=3 |pages=313–336 |jstor=27744995 |issn=0740-0675}}</ref> This was due in part to the conservative influence of the seminary (whose endowment and facilities were superior to the academy's<ref>Allis, p. 147.</ref>), and in other part to the fact that Andover's constitution explicitly required Andover to profess and teach Calvinist theology.<ref>Allis, pp. 55-57.</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Phillips Academy |url=http://archive.org/details/constitutionofph00philiala |title=The constitution of Phillips Academy, in Andover |date=1828 |publisher=Flagg and Gould |location=Andover, MA |pages=11}}</ref> The constitution also required all teachers and trustees to be Protestants, although Andover no longer enforces this restriction.<ref>Allis, p. 57.</ref>

Certain New England families were drawn to Andover's reputation for theological conservatism. In the 1880s, the bulk of Andover students came from Congregationalist (mainly Calvinist) and Presbyterian households, and the academy enrolled "almost no" Unitarians or Methodists.<ref>Allis, p. 288.</ref> However, by the 1900s, Calvinism was no longer popular in New England, and Andover Theological Seminary was facing declining enrollment.<ref>Allis, pp. 146-47.</ref> In 1907, the seminary reconciled with Harvard and returned to [[Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Collection: Andover Theological Seminary Records {{!}} Archives at Yale |url=https://archives.yale.edu/repositories/4/resources/11196 |access-date=2024-03-16 |website=archives.yale.edu}}</ref>

Today, Andover and Exeter are now both nonsectarian institutions, and the rivalry no longer carries religious overtones.

=== Revival as college-preparatory institution ===
[[File:Phillips Andover Academy Andover 1910.jpg|thumb|500x500px|Student body, Phillips Andover, 1910|center]]
After a period of decline, [[Cecil Bancroft]] (h. 1873–1901), [[Alfred Stearns]] (h. 1903–33), and [[Claude Fuess]] (h. 1933–48) led Andover through a long era of expansion that transformed Andover into one of the largest and richest prep schools in the United States. Bancroft improved Andover's academic reputation; he reformed the curriculum to the expectations of college presidents and visited the English [[Public school (United Kingdom)|public schools]] to learn about best practices in Europe.<ref>Allis, pp. 223, 230-31, 239-40.</ref> Aided by a "sink-or-swim" policy of expelling underperforming or undisciplined students, the academy was able to place a majority of its students at Yale, Harvard, or Princeton (64% in 1931 and 74% in 1937).<ref>Allis, pp. 419, 459, 631.</ref> Enrollment, which had fallen from 396 students in 1855 to 177 in 1877, rebounded to roughly 400 by 1901 and passed 700 in 1937.<ref>Allis, pp. 204, 286, 418.</ref>[[File:Paresky_Commons_in_the_1930s.jpg|thumb|Paresky Commons in the 1930s]]

To compete with newer, fully residential boarding schools, the headmasters built new on-campus housing and modernized the academic facilities, a process that took over a generation to complete. Shortly after taking over, Bancroft recognized that Andover's historical reliance on local families for student housing was hurting its reputation.<ref>Allis, pp. 278-79, 282-86.</ref> By 1901 Andover provided housing for approximately one-third of boarders; by 1929 all boarders could finally live on campus.<ref>Allis, pp. 328, 383.</ref> Much of this expansion was funded by banker [[Thomas Cochran (banker)|Thomas Cochran]] '90, a partner at [[J.P. Morgan & Co.|J. P. Morgan]] who had no children and wanted to make Andover "the most beautiful school in America."<ref name=":11" /> Cochran donated roughly $10 million to Andover (approximately $181 million in February 2024 dollars); for reference, when he died his estate was probated at $3 million.<ref>Allis, pp. 371, 386.</ref> In 1928, as many as 15,000 people visited Andover's campus to hear President [[Calvin Coolidge]] deliver the keynote address at Andover's 150th anniversary celebration, a speech that Cochran had arranged.<ref>Allis, pp. 435-36, 445.</ref>[[File:Andover Battalion 1918.jpg|thumb|Andover Battalion [[cadet]]s training at the school in 1918.|left]]

During this period, Andover was a primarily white and Protestant institution, although its expanding scholarship program and occasional steps toward racial integration made it relatively diverse by New England boarding school standards. The share of scholarship boys steadily increased from 10% in 1901 to roughly 25% in 1944.<ref>Allis, pp. 288-89, 484.</ref> Andover was one of the first New England boarding schools to accept black students, starting in the 1850s.<ref name=":14">Allis, p. 287.</ref> However, it had just five black students when Bancroft died in 1901,<ref name=":14" /> and black representation actually declined under Bancroft's successors: only four African-Americans attended Andover between 1911 and 1934.<ref>Allis, pp. 344-35; see also id. at 616 (Fuess stating that Andover had 2 black students in 1944 and expressing concern that increasing black enrollment might spell trouble for the academy).</ref> The academy admitted more Jewish students but capped their numbers at roughly 5% of the student body.<ref>Allis, p. 616 (Fuess writing that out of Andover's 690 students, 30-35 were Jews, and that he was trying to reduce this number).</ref> Andover was also one of the first American schools to educate Chinese students, participating in the 1872–1881 [[Chinese Educational Mission]]; one student, [[Liang Cheng]], later became the [[List of ambassadors of China to the United States|Chinese ambassador to the United States]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/epaper/2015-02/20/content_19625578.htm | title=Andover to deepen China ties | work=China Daily | date=February 20, 2015 | first=Amy | last=He | access-date=November 23, 2015}}</ref>

In the 1930s, Andover participated in the International Schoolboy Fellowship, a cultural exchange program between U.S. boarding schools, British [[public school (United Kingdom)|public schools]], and [[National Political Institutes of Education|Nazi boarding schools]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theconversation.com/young-nazis-how-i-uncovered-the-close-ties-between-british-private-schools-and-hitlers-germany-172017|work=[[The Conversation (website)|The Conversation]]|title=Young Nazis: how I uncovered the close ties between British private schools and Hitler's Germany|first=Helen|last=Roche|date=November 18, 2021|access-date=November 19, 2021}}</ref> As U.S.-Germany relations deteriorated, Andover terminated the arrangement in 1939 at the [[United States Department of State|State Department]]'s request.<ref name=":13">Allis, p. 479.</ref> Following America's entry into World War II, over 3,000 Andover graduates participated in the war effort in some capacity, with 142 deaths.<ref name=":13" />

=== Post-war to present ===
[[John M. Kemper|John Kemper]] (h. 1948–71) updated the curriculum and improved salaries and benefits for faculty members.<ref>Allis, pp. 541-49.</ref> Under his leadership, Andover co-authored a study on high school students' preparation for college coursework, which led to the creation of the [[Advanced Placement]] program.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2009-03-22 |title=The Chronicle: 3/10/2006: The Liberal Arts in School and College |url=http://chronicle.com/free/v52/i27/27b04601.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090322190450/http://chronicle.com/free/v52/i27/27b04601.htm |archive-date=March 22, 2009 |access-date=2023-08-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools |url=http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/ap/ap_history_english.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090205075824/http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/ap/ap_history_english.pdf |archive-date=February 5, 2009 |access-date=2023-08-13}}</ref><ref>Allis, pp. 549-54.</ref> Although tightening academic standards at elite universities and increased competition from public schools caused Andover's college placement record to decline significantly during Kemper's administration—the proportion of graduates attending Yale, Harvard, or Princeton fell to 55% in 1953 and 33% in 1967—nearly every major boarding school endured similar declines during this period.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Gordon |first=Michael |date=1969 |title=Changing Patterns of Upper-Class Prep School College Placements |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1388210 |journal=The Pacific Sociological Review |volume=12 |issue=1 |pages=24 |doi=10.2307/1388210 |jstor=1388210 |issn=0030-8919}}</ref>

Like many other boarding school administrators, Kemper and his successors also sought to democratize the campus. Andover began to admit more black students in the 1950s and 1960s, but progress was slow; by 1978, 6% of the student body was black or Hispanic.<ref>Allis, p. 626.</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |date=1978-06-05 |title=Education: Shedding That Preppy Image |url=https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,916180,00.html |access-date=2024-03-18 |magazine=Time |language=en-US |issn=0040-781X}}</ref> Andover abolished secret societies in 1949, although one society still exists.<ref>{{cite web |title=Secret Societies once Clubs, Now Underground.

During this period, Andover also began coordinating policy with other large and wealthy secondary schools.

Andover enrolls a student body that is more racially diverse than Massachusetts, although the numbers vary significantly depending on whether respondents are permitted to identify as two or more races. The academy reports that 59% of students identify as people of color.<ref name=":1" />  

For the 2021–2022 school year, Andover reported that 36.5% of its students were white, 33.0% were Asian, 10.2% were black, 10.5% were Hispanic, 0.5% were Native American/Alaska Native, and 9.3% were multiracial. The survey in question did not allow Andover to identify one student in multiple categories.<ref name="nces" />  

By contrast, a March 2023 survey conducted by Andover's student newspaper (to which 81.0% of the student body responded) found that 50.2% of Andover students identified as white, 42.9% as Asian (including 25.8% as Asian Americans), 13.4% as black (including 8.6% as African American), 10.9% as Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% as Native American/Alaska Native, and 1.3% as Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. This survey allowed students to identify with multiple categories.<ref name=":10">{{Cite web |title=State of the Academy 2023 |url=https://sota.phillipian.net/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240303170721/https://sota.phillipian.net/ |archive-date=2024-03-03 |access-date=2024-03-16 |website=The Phillipian}}</ref> The percentage of black students represents a significant increase from 2021, when 10.4% of students identified as black and 6.8% as African American.<ref name=":2" /> 

Andover enrolls a large international student population, representing approximately 15% of the student body. In March 2024, Andover enrolled 184 international students, of whom 55 were U.S. citizens living abroad.<ref>{{Cite web |title=International Student Welcome |url=https://www.andover.edu/learning/brace-center-camd/international-students/new-international-student |access-date=2024-03-16 |website=Andover {{!}} An independent and inclusive coed boarding high school |language=en-US}}</ref> Conversely, a quarter of the student body lives off campus in neighboring communities.<ref name=":9" />

The student body is relatively affluent and politically liberal. As of March 2023, 95.4% of Andover students have at least one parent who graduated from college, and 46.8% of students have family household incomes over $250,000/year, compared to the 11.3% of students with family household incomes under $100,000/year (another 22.9% do not know their family income). 38.8% of students identified as liberal, 13.3% as independent, 8.6% as conservative, and 8.0% as either communist or socialist (another 26.5% were unsure as to their political affiliation). 21.6% of students identified as agnostic and 21.1% as atheist, compared to 22.5% who identified as "Christian", 16.9% as Catholic, and 5.4% as Protestant (students could select multiple choices). In addition, 6.4% of students identified as ethnically Jewish and 5.3% as religiously Jewish.<ref name=":10" />

Andover does not rank students. It calculates GPA using a 6.0 scale instead of the usual 4.0 scale, where a 6 is considered outstanding, a 5 is an honors grade, and a 2 is a passing grade.<ref name=":8" /> A March 2023 student survey found that the average GPA was 5.41; it was 5.18 in 2018.<ref name=":10" />

Andover also runs a five-week summer session for approximately 600 students entering grades 8-12,<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Summer Session at Phillips Academy |url=https://www.andover.edu/summer/on-campus-programs}}</ref> which dates back to 1942.<ref>Allis, pp. 476-77.</ref>

=== Test scores ===
Andover does not publicly report its students' standardized test scores, explaining that many colleges adopted test-optional admission policies during the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2022-2023 Profile for College Admission Offices |url=https://www.andover.edu/files/Profile20222023.pdf |access-date=2024-03-15 |website=Phillips Academy}}</ref><ref name=":8">{{Cite web |title=2023-2024 Profile for College Admission Offices |url=https://www.andover.edu/files/SchoolProfile2023-2024.pdf |access-date=2024-03-15 |website=Phillips Academy}}</ref> The Class of 2019's average combined [[SAT]] score was 1460 (720 reading, 740 math), and its average combined [[ACT (test)|ACT]] score was 31.1.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2018-2019 Profile for College Admission Offices |url=https://www.andover.edu/files/CCOProfileBrochure2018-2019.pdf |access-date=2024-03-15 |website=Phillips Academy}}</ref>

=== Grade levels ===
In the 2022–23 school year, Andover enrolled 214 freshmen (in academy jargon, "juniors"), 276 sophomores ("lowers"), 311 juniors ("uppers"), and 348 seniors and postgraduates ("seniors" and "PGs"), for a total enrollment of 1,149 students.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Enrollment Data (2022-23) - Phillips Academy (00090820) |url=https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/profiles/student.aspx?orgcode=00090820&fycode=2023 |access-date=2024-03-18 |website=profiles.doe.mass.edu}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Diploma Requirements |url=https://www.andover.edu/learning/academic-curriculum/diploma-requirements |access-date=2023-12-23 |website=Andover {{!}} An independent and inclusive coed boarding high school |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Controversies==
In 2013, Phillips Academy drew national attention for apparent bias against girls and women, as highlighted by a low number of girls in student leadership.<ref>{{cite news |author=Katherine Q. Seelye |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/12/education/phillips-andover-girls-leadership-debated.html |title=School Vote Stirs Debate on Girls as Leaders|work=The New York Times |date=April 11, 2013 |access-date=December 6, 2020}}</ref>

Reports in 2016 and 2017 identified several former teachers who had engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with students in the past. The academy hired an independent law firm to investigate allegations of misconduct, and the head of school, [[John Palfrey]], and the head of the Board of Trustees, [[Peter Currie (businessman)|Peter Currie]], sent an email to the Andover community stating that such transgressions must not recur.<ref>{{cite news |author=Elizabeth A.

In 2020, an [[Instagram]] account, @blackatandover, began circulating stories from anonymous current and former Black-identifying students, many of whom detailed personal experiences with [[racism]] at Phillips Academy. Several individuals raised concerns about Phillips Academy's disciplinary system, including perceived [[Racial disparities in education|racial disparities]] in outcomes, a perceived emphasis on punishment over [[restorative justice]], and an apparent lack of [[due process]] in discipline procedure outlined by the student handbook. The @blackatandover account was reported on by ''[[The New York Times]]'', prompting academy officials to form an "Anti-Racism Task Force", which released a final report in March 2022.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Lorenz |first1=Taylor |last2=Rosman |first2=Katherine |date=2020-06-16 |title=High School Students and Alumni Are Using Social Media to Expose Racism |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/style/blm-accounts-social-media-high-school.html |access-date=2022-05-23 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Launching Andover's Anti-Racism Task Force |url=https://www.andover.edu/news/2020/launching-aatf |access-date=2022-05-23 |website=Andover {{!}} An independent and inclusive coed boarding high school |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Diversity, Equity & Inclusion |url=https://www.andover.edu/dei |accessdate=2022-05-23 |website=Andover  |language=en-US}}</ref>

The WASP ascendancy began to break down around the 1960s and onwards when the admissions policies of elite prep schools and universities began to emphasize merit rather than affluence.<ref name=Dietrich/> Still, images of exclusivity based on unfairness tended to remain. [[Gore Vidal]] suggested that Andover and Exeter had a "style that was quite witty."<ref>Gore Vidal, ''Esquire'', August 1, 2012, [http://www.esquire.com/features/gore-vidal-norman-mailer-0591 "Mailer and Vidal: The Big Schmooze"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140805082806/http://www.esquire.com/features/gore-vidal-norman-mailer-0591 |date=August 5, 2014 }}, "... there was an Exeter/Andover style that was quite witty.".

Despite some shifts, the school's image continues to connote exclusivity, prestige, and academic quality.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} For example, Florida governor [[Ron DeSantis]] regularly criticized Andover, Exeter, and Groton in his [[stump speech]] during his [[Ron DeSantis 2024 presidential campaign|campaign for the Republican presidential nomination]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Confessore |first=Nicholas |date=2023-08-20 |title=How Ron DeSantis Joined the 'Ruling Class' — and Turned Against It |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/20/us/politics/ron-desantis-education.html |access-date=2024-03-17 |work=The New York Times}}</ref>
