[quote=Anonymous]PP here with DD there with "snobby" girls -

But here's the thing - DD is going to run into snobby girls everywhere.  I didn't sign her up for private to insulate her from the world.  I don't think any private school is going to have only nice kids and I'm not expecting it either.  What I am looking for in a private school is a prioritization on a certain degree of academics, love of learning, a wealth of classes/clubs, diversity to various kinds of people and safety.  In that sense, they fill this requirement.  I am pretty sure that she will meet less mean girls than her local public MS/HS where there is such a large population of kids in general from all walks of life.  Maybe they won't all be snobby because they are rich but they may be mean because they they aren't from good families or something.  The point is, there is no perfect place.  To the extent that SSSAS offers a reasonable administration who do what they can to take care of my kids, I'm pretty happy.  I like the teachers and there's low turnover which I think also says a lot about the school.  DD has to figure out how to manage her relationships with friends and people around her, so I'm glad there's some challenges and not everyone is her best friend.  When she's older, it will do her well for these experiences.  [/quote]
