DS is getting lost in the cracks at our large public and while perfectly smart is not a genius. I would love to find a school like Holton for him - it does not need to be all boys (in fact I'd prefer that it be co-ed). But can anyone recommend a school that admits boys that has the same positive attribute of helping kids become their personal best where they can become confident in their skin. Thanks.

Don't believe all the Holton Hype here. There are some very dedicated boosters. Why don't you list what you actually want in a school (supportive, strong academics).

Landon deflectors can't accept the fact that Landon breeds bad behavior (or attracts it). Incident after incident cannot be swept under the rug.

While I personally would never consider Landon for my DS due to location and sports focus, this statement is really unfair to all the Landon students who don't act terrible. Not every boy who attends that school is a meathead-jock-date-rapist. Statistically speaking there are more boys who behave than don't.

There are Holton boosters because it is good.

There was a thread maybe a year ago where posters where trying to get Holton Mom to admit to even one so-so thing about the school, like bad cafeteria food or weeds in the soccer field. She wouldn't do it. To me, that borders on dishonesty.

Well given that I have been called Holton mom before and I never participated in such a thread I think you've got more than one person who has positive things to say about Holton.

You can't be serious.

The OP specifically asked for a HOlton comparison so whoever is calling "Holto mom" again has some obsession vs. Holton.

St. Albans, Sidwell, or GDS depending on the type of boy he is.

+1 I think "brings out the best" in its kid is the perfect way to describe Lowell.
