The 2023-24 national prep school computer rankings had Putnam Science as the #1 prep team in the nation, and the rest of the NEBL all made the Top 100.
Last year, incredibly, the New England Basketball League included the top five computer ranked prep teams in the nation, #1 Putnam Science, #2. Newman School, #3. Cushing Academy, #4. New Hampton School and #5 CATS Academy Boston National (MA). Now, 2025-26, they added another national powerhouse in Darrow School. Darrow finished as the #7 ranked team in the nation last year.
