[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter had an ok experience, but would not call it great.  The marketing, the campus facilities, the image they create is amazing, but the reality isn't as bright.   Yes, the academics were strong though not as challenging as the school our son went to.  College Counseling and placement is very strong, one of Stone Ridge's top points.

The challenges are that some strong cliques / dynamics / personalities shape the culture .  Yes, our daughter was able to find her small supportive group - but still you deal with the whole grade.   HOS consistently unimpressive as a leader - which usually doesn't matter that much to a student's day to day experience,  but SR handled Covid worse than most schools and with many big things, HOS is just slightly off.   Re the comments on CRT, yes CRT was over the top.  The irony is  SR doesn't see how the diversity push is in contrast to how things actually run - / clique wise / administration wise / alumni - country club  parents who drive a lot.   As my daughter said, they push "diversity", yet they want everyone to be similar and think the same.    [/quote]

Interesting how different our perceptions can be … I think the HOS is amazing and impressive. She is nice to everyone. She  is very hands on, she led the fund raising for the many campus improvements needed, oversaw a very intelligent renovation of campus that makes excellent use of the space, and has spiritual depth. No one is perfect but she clearly cares deeply about the school and the girls. [/quote]
