The school will tell you they have a stellar reputation, but they really don't. Dr Wise likes to talk a good game, but in reality outplacement is nothing special.

Yup. And now she is heading to NCRC, where outplacement has been horrific the last few years unless you are a sibling or alum. Go NCRC!

I think that's why you read so many jeckel/hyde stories about Dr. Wise on here. She impresses people with her personality and experience, and woos them with stories about how good her relationship is with admission directors...and they think she's a wonderful person until they apply out...then realize she actually over-promises and under delivers.

She over-promises and under-delivers in every aspect of the school experience - not just with outplacements. She is so, so full of shit.

Oh, look! It's the "full of shit" poster who appears on every Harbor thread! Hi! Did you forget that you already left your droppings on this thread a few pages ago? If you hold such a grudge, shouldn't you be hopping over to the NCRC threads now?

I can assure you that plenty of people find her full of shit. But if it makes you feel better to accuse me of being the only one to say so, which is not at all the reality, that's your business.

Your writing "style" and your scent are definitely, uniquely...you.

Harbor is a fantastic school. We've had two kids through it. Both of my girls went on to Holton

Obviously not every school is right for every kid and sometimes a parent will not care for the school's head or some of the teachers. It happens. Our experience with Harbor has been great. We have been very happy with the learning environment, the quality of the teaching, and the success we have had in outplacement.

My child went on to Norwood. Two kids from our graduating class went to Landon. Its a great, small little school. Your sending your kid there to learn to love school and make great friendships. I strongly reccomnd it to others.

I'm sorry, but can you substantiate this opinion?

I don't think that 13:55 will be able to substantiate that opinion. Outplacement at NCRC is good. The children get into great schools.

Sure, give me a call and I'll fill you in. and yes, they do go to great schools as long as they were a sibling or an alum.
