Groton School is a private college-preparatory day and boarding school located in Groton, Massachusetts. It is affiliated with the Episcopalian tradition.
Student selection
Groton enrolls about 380 boys and girls from the eighth through twelfth grades, dubbed Forms II-VI in the British fashion.[1] Although it no longer publishes its admissions rate, Groton was the most selective boarding school in the United States in 2016.[2]
When Groton was founded in 1884, American boarding schools primarily catered to White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. St. Paul's accepted only students with "sound Episcopal credentials,"[3] and in 1885 Andover admitted a Jew "[f]or the first time in twelve years."[4] Although Groton was open to Jews and non-Episcopalian Christians (for example, the Presbyterian Theodore Roosevelt[5] and the Jewish Otto Kahn[6] both sent their sons to Groton), the results were not substantially different. A 1902 graduate recognized that "[n]inety-five percent of these boys came from what they considered the aristocracy of America. Their fathers belonged to the Somerset, the Knickerbocker, the Philadelphia or the Baltimore Clubs. Among them was a goodly slice of the wealth of the nation."[7] Accordingly, schools like Groton considered it their mission "to make virtuous and brave those who, through the accident of birth, would someday exercise great power and influence."[8]
Although most Groton students in the early years were from wealthy families in New England and (in particular) New York,[9] the school's students more recebtly come from across the country and around the world.[10] 46% of students identify as students of color.[10] In addition, 15% of students commute to Groton from towns and cities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.[10]
