[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know anything about the Archer School?  And, the main differences, besides location, between Archer & Marlborough?[/quote]

Not what you were looking for exactly, but,  two things to research:

Marlborough is going through a scandal at the moment because about a year ago, a graduate of theirs blogged that while she was there, a teacher had been inappropriate with her and she complained to the school and "nothing happened."  Anyways that set off a firestorm and the teacher is out, and the headmaster has just resigned as of a few months ago.  I was thinking, this might be a good time to apply there, because it might not have as many applications thanks to this scandal, so you might have a shot of getting in, and the school of course will now have every employee under a microscope.

Archer has some sort of remodeling/neighborhood dispute going on; I'm not in that community but I've received a couple of flyers from the school assuring everyone that their remodel takes neighborhood interests to heart, and another from some locals who say this is not true.

OP, between the two, Archer is much more convenient to The Palisades.

And btw, Harvard-Westlake had a cheating scandal and a separate drug scandal, both a few years ago.

As an aside, OP, are you familiar with Rick Caruso's plan for the downtown of the Palisades area?  He owns quite a bit of adjacent property on both sides of the business block of Swarthmore (the curved part on a map, the block north of Sunset.) It's going through a huge renovation.  Locals are grumbly and worried about the increase of crime that will come with transient workers etc, and grumbling about the design of it all (but many, including myself, think it's going to be a good thing).[/quote]
