yes many nay sayers that it’s mediocre bc it’s not a pressure cooker for those who don’t want it. i have news for them.. Karma kicks in at some point
easy to find friends. parent community very friendly. Administration is strong
expulsions yes in extreme cases they don’t take any BS when the kids break the pledge they all sign at the beginning of the year. for less extreme cases they have detention and honor council (committee of teachers and peers). the learning center is wonderful resource. there’s a lot you get for your money including many teachers who have the time to be invested in your teen’s success.
PS i have had a few parents of big 5 etc tell me about buyers remorse (we have a junior) and wish they had looked/considered more broadly and the course selections are more appealing to them at FH as well as the peer groups.

No one at a Big 5 would wish that they sent their child to FH.

I attended a big 3 and was miserable. I wish I’d gone to FH. And FH was one of our top two contenders for DC for HS. Didn’t even consider my big 3 alma mater.

Sounds like your DC and you were not Big 3 material. It was wise to apply to a much less advanced school.

LMAO. The so-called "big 3" reject myriad top students simply because their parents are not exalted enough. You are lucky to skate by on the coattails of the few actually best qualified students they allow to rub elbows with the knuckledragging nouveau riche.

Flint Hill is full of nouveau riche.

Flint Hill is for a certain kind of student. If your child fits that profile, I'm sure they will have a great experience.
