The extensive discussions held here have centered around Maret's evolving reputation over the years, which no longer positions it as a "top" school, an aspect that holds significance for us. It is likely that any parent scouring these forums shares this concern, as they value factors like outplacement, academic opportunities, leadership, sports, and community when considering a top-tier school.

It appears that the consensus among parents is that they initially sought Maret as one of the top schools, but it is no longer on par with the top 3 or 5 schools. A noticeable shift occurred a few years ago during their rebranding and value reassessment process, where the opportunity to step up was missed, and instead, they took a step back. To rectify this situation will require significant effort.

Additionally, the appointment of the current school leader is widely perceived as unfortunate, and this has further contributed to the school's decline. What was once considered a "good" school is now becoming a subject of insider jokes within the community, a topic of conversation I've personally encountered.

In retrospect, many wish that Maret had selected a different school head, someone who could have provided the leadership needed to chart a new course for the school and infused the admissions team with some stronger chops for creating the student body as well as the ability to counsel out students who are not a good fit.[/quote]

Current family and agreed.

Faculty is top notch so I hope new Head mends relations with them. I don’t miss the former Head.[/quote]
