[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We chose NCS for fourth. The facilities at NCS are far superior and more updated. We were more impressed by the teachers and engagement of the classes we observed at NCS. The older girls at holton looked surly and the campus is run down. Wasn’t as impressed by the teachers we observed. Our daughter liked that the older girls don’t wear uniforms and have some more coed opportunities. It’s pretty individual. [/quote]

LOL at this poster  :lol: surly?!? Maybe tired (like most hard working girls are). And when was the last time you were on Holton’s campus? You’re clearly out of touch. [/quote]

To NCS moms-- is this mean poster representative of many NCS moms ?[/quote]

Oh, please. When you’re making this kind of decision, first hand impressions often carry the day. Yes, surly. Sorry. It’s what I observed when we recently toured. Several girls mocked us and said oh yeah, send her here. And several others rolled their eyes at the teachers. I get that that’s normal, it was just not a great look. And yes, compared to other schools we toured, the facilities and class rooms for the lower school need updating. Again, these are my opinions and experience. It’s not “mean”. [/quote]

I completely get the first impression part. In fact, that’s why my DD applied only to Holton for 3rd grade a number of years ago. One of my colleagues had to transfer/move his daughter out of NCS because of persistent bullying done by a girl with big donor parents. The school hadn’t done anything. So I thought, “There is no way I would allow send my daughter there”. [/quote]
