[quote=Anonymous]Holton Middle School is quite possibly the hardest private middle school in the area (have heard that from persons working with other private schools).  I think it is part of a preparation process to get the students ready for rigorous high school.  There are plenty of smart girls at Holton, perhaps some smarter than others, but it is not for the intellectually incapable.  Sports is a pretty big component, too, but if you are heavily interested in arts that is a good substitute.  I would think a student would want to be very interested in one or both.

Like PP suggested, it likely is not for a kid with piercings or wild makeup or bizarrely painted nails, as they actively require uniforms, tasteful makeup, no nail polish, minimal jewelry, etc.  A kid who wanted to look avant garde every day would not fit in.

The school is far from cold - and much warmer than others we have toured - the teachers really get to know and care about the students on a personal level.  There are staff and students of all sizes, shapes, races there - and they all get along.  Not that Stone Ridge isn't the same.
