[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t post this comment - i’m the trinity alum/dalton kid poster from above - but i think the poster is mostly joking. We all say that kind of thing. However, I will say that while we loved the lower school experience, I don’t think the high school is a particularly healthy environment for so many reasons, and I would certainly think long and hard before sending my kiddos there. Can give more details if you’d like.[/quote]
Please! We interviewed/toured the school, and it definitely felt like an outlier in terms of how cold and formal the interactions with the staff were. Hard to read how much that is reflective of the overall vibe for the students, but definitely gave us a pause. Do you have any comparative info wrt Horace Mann (also reputationally competitive, but felt much more relaxed and easy-going when we visited).  Thanks!  [/quote]

My daughter goes to a TT same sex school.   She was admitted to Horace Mann but preferred the all girls environment. Her best friend from lower school chose Horace Mann so she has a big group of friends from HM, the kids seem pretty normal to me.   They are on the phone during the week, the HM kids go to the same Bat/Bar mitzvahs, they even have similar work loads.   I would feel pretty comfortable sending my child to HM if they chose to go there.   I think the differences are minimal.[/quote]
