I get this. BUT I don't get why PP turned down NCS for Madeira. (If it's even true.)

Have you visited NCS or spoken to HONEST parents with girls currently at that school? I have. and they all tell me to RUN to from NCS.

I don’t buy this. My DD is heading to NCS next year and we have a tons of friends with girls there (we are BVR family). Nobody has anything bad to say about the school at all. If it takes some of the best and brightest girls the average is quite high. When we toured they basically told us that all girls are above average and therefore are given above average assignments. I am sure the school has its flaws like all places do, but highly doubt parents/kids are running away from it. I actually heard of several BVR girls that were turned down from early admission so they are clearly not hurting for admission.

It’s not true except the right wing families - yes they don’t like the diversity there. They try to thinly veil their complaints but that’s really the issue they don’t like the diversity or that it’s not clubby enough.

It’s obvious the NCS booster is keeping this thread going. Ridiculous.

We are at NCS and like the school very much. Welcome to your family!

Nope that was my first time posting about NCS.

You sound oddly aggressive about NCS? What’s your issue? If you don’t have a daughter there then why does it trigger such a reaction from you? I think there is more to this poster’s story.

Wow. There isn’t much diversity there to dislike.

I think it wasn't about the school itself, but rather the force, frequency and tone of the NCS booster in this thread, and in two other threads in which she similarly boosted STA and disparaged others. The insecurity was palpable.

Something seems off with you actually. I posted just once on this thread about NCS and you attacked my post and accused me of being the previous NCS poster (whch I was not). Maybe the problem is you and your wrong assumptions?

The NCS booster that is essentially bashing all other girls schools is making me think the comments about its toxic environment are very real.

It could be location or for the equestrian program or co-curriculum program…

Oh please, both are great schools. Best to choose the one that feels right.

Ranking schools is worthwhile. Not!

Actually there was only one person bashing any school and that was the anti-NCS poster. I just reread the the posts and there is a crazy anti-NCS poster all throughout the thread.

Anyway we are at NCS and happy but have lots of friends at other schools and they are also happy at those schools. School ranking is based on what is best for your daughter and family. Good luck.
