Seattle Preparatory School, popularly known as Seattle Prep, is a Private Jesuit high school located on the north slope of Capitol Hill. It is operated independent of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle. Until 1974, it only admitted boys. The school regularly sends about 75% of its students to Ivy League schools each year and many other students get accepted at 'highly-selective' universities. In addition, its acceptance rate is 25%. In 2007, out of 700 applicants, it accepted 170. The school incorporates the Jesuit motto of "Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam" which means, literally, "For the Greater Glory of God." The school's mascot is the Panther. Seattle Prep's long history, excellent academics, and strong athletics are all very well regarded. It is known to be one of the best private college-prep schools in the northwest.
