[quote=Anonymous]My daughter recently asked if we could look in to St. Andrew's for high school.  We know a few families whose children are there now and a few that have graduated.  Most of them loved it, commenting that it is a warm community and the teachers are wonderful.  Multiple of them also commented that it was a pretty small school that did feel limited socially. They seem to have pretty good college placements, so there is that, but there also seem to be a large number of students that are seen as awkward and viewed as non-traditional learners.  While I do love that there isn't a homogeneous crowd, I'm concerned that the relatively small size of the school mixed with the greater number of awkward kids might make it feel as if it is a special needs school and that my more traditional kid will be frustrated in that situation.  I will say that when I mention she may apply there, about half of the people I tell are surprised because she is incredibly bright and they believe it to be for children with learning issues, similar to Burke or Field.  Is this all completely off base?[/quote]
