[quote=Anonymous]I have limited experience at both. IMO, Shepherd has some old school discipline I don’t love but is more rigorous academically (ie nightly homework). Way more diversity, though still not a ton of economic diversity. Feels very small and tight knit. Lafayette is more touchy feely, talk about our feelings. No homework even in higher grades. Massive, but was easy for my kids to make friends. I experienced few of the “nightmare” parents this board talks about but they did pop up occasionally. Obviously they have the same curriculum so they’re more alike than different. (I wouldn’t lottery for one from the other, with the caveat that if I were a Black family I would pick Shepherd hands down.) Also, my summary may be dated. I’m a few years out. If so, current parents can weigh in. Good luck! [/quote]
