[quote=Anonymous]Former McLean parent here. PP is correct that Darlene is leaving and the new head starts in July. Keep in mind that the head of the middle school left at the end of last year (June 2012) and there is an interim middle school head for this school year. I don't know whether she (interim head)will continue next year. They may want to wait until the new Head of School starts to let him pick a new middle school head. As pp said, that will be at least two years of transition for the middle school. I am Jewish and never heard of the school being "in an eruv." I had many years of Hebrew school and don't know what the pp is talking about. But that is a digression. I did not find the curriculum challenging. They claim to know how to deal with social issues but they don't. I'm glad that bullying wasn't tolerated when pp's kid was there but it sounds like that was several years ago. Lots of unacceptable behavior was tolerated. I would try to talk to lots of current parents before accepting an admission offer. Try to find them on your own (i.e., don't just rely on who admissions puts you in contact with).[/quote]
