[quote=Anonymous]Good school with very nice people.  Not very academically rigorous...that may be okay, however, depending upon what you are looking for.  Both of our children went there, had very good experiences.  It is a very warm and loving community.  On the challenging side, just know going in that it is small.  That is both good and bad.  Good when they are younger (one of the reasons we selected the school), more challenging when they are older and the cliques start to form (it can be suffocating.) We found the parent community to be very engaged (on the positive side) and also fairly homogenous (white, Catholic, conservative.) Again, that's not bad necessarily, just reality. When we were there, lots of challenges retaining boys which prompted alot of boys to transfer out when middle school years approached.   I believe that this has been aggressively tackled by the school in the past year.  The new administration is very strong and working hard to reposition the school.  Good luck to you on our decision.[/quote]
