[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boosting is great just stop comparing the school to JKLM. It screams inferiority complex. [/quote] Trust me, we really don't want to be JKLM. Shepherd's test scores are going up, and in just a few years they will likely be comparable with those schools, but the reason many of us are so passionate about the school is that it is a friendly, welcoming community, something that many of us find lacking at certain WOTP schools. You can keep your Janneys, et al., and we will stick with our great little school. :roll: [/quote] Shepherd IS a great school. Your message gets lost when you keep putting down other schools. [/quote] 09:48 here. This is my opinion based on my own personal experience. My DC attended one of those previously mentioned WOTP schools. The academics are great, but we really didn't find the community to be particularly welcoming. IME, it was insular and overly competitive, but YMMV. I find the balance of academics and a strong community at Shepherd to be just what we were looking for. If anyone wants to attack Shepherd for its so-called inferiority complex, I am absolutely going to respond. [/quote]
