[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We chose NCS for fourth. The facilities at NCS are far superior and more updated. We were more impressed by the teachers and engagement of the classes we observed at NCS. The older girls at holton looked surly and the campus is run down. Wasn’t as impressed by the teachers we observed. Our daughter liked that the older girls don’t wear uniforms and have some more coed opportunities. It’s pretty individual. [/quote]

Hmmm- the book Mean Girls was based on NCS. Maybe a more appropriate title would have been Mean Moms.[/quote]

I've heard this before,  but yet can never find any evidence to prove this connection.[/quote]

Tina Fey wrote Mean Girls after reading Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman, which is a parenting book.  Wiseman worked at NCS around the time she wrote the book (which contains anecdotes that sound like she is writing from experience though she never names NCS).  She herself went to Maret as a kid and then Occidental.

I thought it was based on New Trier High near Chicago.[/quote]
