[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flint hill started at a segregation academy. Just something to keep in mind. They still strongly glorify their founder. [/quote]
What? Who was the founder that you're talking about?

Many schools started as a segregation academy. FHS doesn't shy away from this fact and John Thomas (former HoS) talked about how he wished it hadn't started that way.[/quote]

We're a FH family and I've never heard of the founder so idk what glorification the poster is referring to.

FH gets dogged on this site because it's a school who accepts a variety of learners, not just the 95%+ SSAT performers. Our experience is that FH isn't an academic pressure cooker. Kids are free to be high flyers, straight up average, or have supports from the learning center as needed. I don't know all the matriculation data from last year, but I do know one kid got into Harvard and another kid this year scored a 1600 on his SAT, so the school isn't filled with dummies and Ivies must think it can properly prepare students for their hallowed halls regardless what posters on DCUM think.
