Not PP, but today’s post on the school’s social media accounts is an example of the out of balance. No post for valedictorian or salutatorian; never was a post for cum laude society even though ceremony was in September. Girls in the senior class had no idea who was inducted into cum laude until graduation. It’s not even announced then or at prize day but is just listed in the grad program. It feels out of balance for a school that should value educational achievements also. [/quote]

Agree and this has been the norm for awhile. DD graduated a few years back and was a top student, but not an athlete. She received highest honors her entire career at SR, was inducted into the cum laude society, took an incredibly rigorous courseload and it was like she was invisible. [/quote]

PP congrats to your daughter on her impressive academic achievement. It is telling that SR continuously features the athletes (of certain sports) over intellectual excellence.  It is ok to not be a tippy top academic program, but kindness, inclusiveness, and community matter, and those attributes seem to be lacking at this school currently. [/quote]
