[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD applied to SR upper school and we are waiting for letters. One thing we were concerned about is if new girls can fit in easily since so many of the girls have been together for years. Admissions goes out of its way to make applicants believe this is not a problem. Is it?[/quote]

Nope - it's pretty good. Our daughter came into 9th last year. Half of the class is new. Believe it or not the teachers all actually work some and are concerned about everyone getting along and finding a place they feel comfortable. 
Our daughter had a small issue with one girl and when we mentioned it to a teacher she had already been looking into it. I don't know what they did but she and the other girl are having a much better year this year (not besties but friends enough).

Stone Ridge is a nice, welcoming place. DD loves to go to school (which is a little weird isn't it?).

Let your daughter join the activities that she wants. Don't worry that she don't have enough time to 'study' . They are pretty good at school/ life balance and the activities are great for the girls socially and for personal  growth. It's a  great place really.[/quote]

That's nice to hear. My DD came home from shadowing at SR and said that it was the one school where she could see herself being friends with the girls she met. She comes from a Bethesda parochial school that is remarkably cliquish for its size. She doesn't play CYO sports which has been the kiss of social death for her and us. We're hoping for a more diverse and inclusive environment in high school.    [/quote]
