[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always heard good things about SAES. I will though say that my DD has a friend who moved from their well-known, very rigorous K-12 to SAES very recently for high school. Friend tells DD that she feels like most kids at SAES are “awkward” or “quirky” or have some kind of “diffference” she never experienced at her former school. It was not a criticism just her observation. She likes the school. [/quote]

Maybe the kids at her previous school were all sheep.  Or maybe your daughter's friend is just not very accepting of differences.  Tis a pity.  [/quote]
There is a real strain of this kind of sentiment among at least a few Saint Andrews parents on this board. It seems like it’s gotten worse in the last year two.  You’re not representing your kid’s school very well. [/quote]

I wouldn't assume that the poster was a St. Andrew's parent.  This is an anonymous board so anyone can post whatever they want.  I'm a parent new to SAES and haven't encountered anyone who would post snark like that.  We've been really happy with the school so far.  There are a broader range of students than at our prior school which has been great.  No one is asking my kid how they did on this paper, exam, quiz, etc. which our student really appreciates.  Our child finds the students helpful, supportive, and friendly but not unpleasantly competitive.  At our former school there were kids who were constantly asking what did you get and caring only about grades.  It created a really stressful environment that did not appear to be good for anyone.  So far our child has not run into that at all and is enjoying being around kids who view him as a classmate and friend and not as the competition.[/quote]
