What is the reputation of Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart?

Thank God for that. One might be tempted to think that a fully Catholic expression of life and faith is not on the top of the list of priorities at Stone Ridge. How could I ever possibly think something like that?

Whew! Glad SR can pass the modern day Pharisee test to being Catholic enough.

Funny. But, if they market themselves as a catholic independent institution, well, you should get what you pay buy. This school seems to be having MAJOR problems.

If not SR, what school is an academic powerhouse for girls? Particularly high-school girls.

It's the sort of Catholic-Lite that appeals to the overpaid white liberals that don't want to be challenged about their worldview and who are happy to shell out $40k for what is, at best, a middling education.

If you talk to some of the teachers who were there 10-20 years ago they will tell you it started with the watering down of the academics, replacing what they describe as an "academic powerhouse" with an institution more focused on ensuring the students have "fun".

This has been going on for a long time.

The more recent ramping up of DEI is largely a reaction to the events of last summer.

The inherent mission of the school has been obscured by a focus on the growth of the bottom line. Those in positions of leadership confuse such growth with the organic growth of a healthy institution, which SR most definitively is not.

Interesting. Have you had any daughters attend SR?

I think you need to traffic in stereotypes about liberals a little more. You didn't pour it on thick enough here.

Also, please share with us what is an acceptable Catholic school to send our daughters.

Interesting. Any thoughts on Prep and Gonzaga?

Word is the Holy Child is almost as bad with the CRT and DEI stuff replacing academics.

It is posts like these that are why I read this site.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised. The two schools are very similar in so many ways.

Practicing Catholic family here with girls in the US. We are extremely happy with the academics and girls have not had anything negative to say about the DEI initiatives. Parents considering SR, please get to know the school by other means than this thread and others on DCUM.

Nope. I'm definitely not interested.

One of the benefits of this area- lots of great schools to choose from, including SR.

This. I love it for my ivy league bound DD.

I don't understand why so many SR threads devolve into such nastiness about the school. We have a DD in the upper school and overall have been happy. We think that the amount of DEI stuff this year is over the top and we have been troubled by some parts in particular. Parents who have concerns need to speak up, but airing grievances like this on a public board is childish and mean-spirited. Our DD has lovely friends at school so I scratch my head sometimes to think about how there can be so many mean-spirited posters from the school-or maybe we are hearing from the same ones over and over?
