[quote=Anonymous]Families seem very happy at both schools, you can't go too wrong. Differences I see: Stone Ridge is smaller, with about 80 girls per class vs. 120 at Visi; Visi seems to attract many of the top academic students from the parochial schools and many top athletes, and seems to have a more competitive vibe, both academically and athletically, which could be a pro or con for your daughter; I've heard some chatter that college placement is stronger from SR -- top girls at Visi go to fantastic schools but I've heard some frustration from parents of strong smart girls in middle of class at Visi, that it's harder to stand out & college counseling support is lacking; SR has block scheduling with longer course periods on alternating days that is said to be a great stress reducer; SR has the service program built into the school day, which is unique and a big part of the school culture.[/quote]
