Any Experience With Woodberry Forrest School?

If a child arrived with a rifle more than likely it would be because they are on the skeet team. It would be checked into the gun safe and used like a baseball bat would be at baseball practice. Woodberry has a top notch skeet team.

The handful of Woodberry boys I knew years ago were some of the most wonderful boys/men I have ever known. They all went on to great colleges...Yale, Cornell, UNC etc.

Hampden-Sydney is a safety school for most Woodberry applicants.

I am sure all the boys are lovely young men but it is a very southern school.

With regard to the guns (mostly shotguns - access to rifles is very closely guarded, as I learned when my roommate and I used his deer rifle to complete a physics project our senior year), I think at most 20% of the students bring them to campus. Old plantation southern is very accurate, however. The property was originally the estate of James Madison's younger brother, and the school was founded by a captain of Mosby's Rangers because there was precious little schooling in the area. I think they started admitting Black students in the early 1970s (my graduating class of 85 boys had roughly 12 who were not white, and that was on the high side for the time - now the percentages are in the twenties and thirties), and they didn't ban displaying the Stars and Bars until a little over a decade ago.
