[quote=Anonymous]I would not consider GFS, and I would choose our RPCS over GFS. That said, I would never send MY GIRLS to  RPCS.
My daughter chose between Park and BMS for middle school. Ultimately, she selected Park because she found it to be more laid-back and a better fit for her personality. She attended a shadow day at BMS and felt that the environment was too competitive for her. She didn’t like that students were constantly rushing to answer questions and often talking over one another. My daughter is extremely nerdy and academically driven, but she still felt that the atmosphere at BMS was too intense. While I didn’t entirely share her perspective, it was important that she felt comfortable in her school environment.
She is now thriving at Park and has continued into the upper school. When she entered in sixth grade, she initially felt that the middle school math program was not particularly challenging. However, the upper school math program has been significantly stronger, and she now finds it both challenging and enjoyable.
The middle school math program at Park has also changed considerably in recent years. Several long-tenured teachers retired, bringing an infusion of younger faculty, fresh ideas, and greater flexibility to the department. Another positive change was the transition of the middle school principal into a different role. In my opinion, that leadership change has also benefited the program.
My son attended Park from kindergarten through high school and is now a rising college junior majoring in mathematics.[/quote]
