[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:36 - Thank you!!!!!!  Thanks for such a thoughtful, insightful response.  I truly appreciate it.

I just know that an all girl environment is the best for my girls (for different reasons, but for both none the less) and I think that Holton is the best fit academically of all of local girls' schools.[/quote]

You are welcome.  Please realize that there are so many different tracks in Holton.  There are kids in 5 different math levels in 9th grade. There are kids that take two AP's a semester and some that take two their entire high school career.  There are options for extra classes or extra study halls.   My daughter chose (with encouragement from her advisor) to pull out of an extra honors class so she wouldn't overwhelm herself.  It is not a cut-throat "take the highest class, get the highest grade" atmosphere.  I think there are some individual parents that push their kids more than the school every would.  It is very nurturing and they do have a lot of fun. They just had a DJ in the lunch room for Holton's birthday last week.  The girls are all dancing, singing and goofing off.  Something they probably wouldn't do if it was a co-ed school.  They also just had lip synch battles which my daughter loved doing too.   I think in any school, it is what you make of it.   [/quote]
