[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stone Ridge sounds like a mess. I know so many girls who either don’t want to even apply or, if they do, choose Visitation, Holy Child, St. John’s, and other independents over it. I always wondered why? Maybe all this underlying negativity has affected the culture the girls see and hear about and is part of the reason why.[/quote]

SR is a great school academically but a toxic mess socially. There is also an unprofessionalism in some parts of the administration that is extremely disappointing.[/quote]

A large part of that is because people are appointed to leadership positions who are incapable of performing the job adequately. There is, of course, the obsession over hiring SR alumnae (regardless of suitability), but there is also a problem with professional management and accountability at all levels of leadership in the school. Gossip and backbiting take the place of mature interaction. There is also very little in the way of concrete outcome expectation and any kind of objective measurement against goals and targets. Eduspeak takes the place of insight and competence. I also sense a deep insecurity at the top which impacts everything underneath it. [/quote]
