[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so as a prospective nursery mom who in general doesn’t care much about the mean girls and always makes a friend or two in a crowd, because I’m nice and genuinely like people, in theory I should be ok...right? We’re pretty middle class for the independent school set. I just need to know that my kid will be ok. I have lots of my own friends already but want to make sure my child finds a group.

What is the 8th grade outplacement looking like this year? [/quote]

It was fine. Remember before they expanded the upper school a lot of kids would leave(because hey did not have the space) starting in 5th grade. So to get a true picture you would have to know where the kid who left early went. Also there is a st pats troll. She/he is really upset about not being invited to a country club or something. It has nothing to do with the school. Do not make a decision based on responses here. [/quote]

Not the troll country club person. It really depends on the grade. Some grades of girls are terrific and some are awful. One could say this can happen anywhere. The big issue are the teachers and that is really really really uneven. They are either terrific or the worst there can ever be. If you have a couple kids, you can manage around but with a first child then it can be an issue because you do not know. The HOS does nothing to weed out bad teachers. If you bring something up he is already defending before you even finished your first sentence. This is not good. This is the largest problem. The other issue is many parents are divided on the new upper school. The green space is zero and it is kind of a weird setting but the best teachers in the school are in this teeny tiny building so that is a plus. We were before this new part of the school  and left for middle school so not an issue for our family anyway.  If you are in nursery you really do not need to worry about what you want for middle school because your child may want a different environment by 6th anyway.[/quote]
