[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is true that people are concerned with the new head of school due to affiliation with Whittle. Otherwise, the stuff on this thread is not reflective of most Maret families' views. Maret's athletic programs are not weak other than basketball. There are plenty of strong athletes. In fact, 20 seniors (of 85) are continuing their sport in college. I think football is the most represented sport. Teaching has been strong overall and the work is rigorous. I feel my kids will be incredibly well prepared for college in both humanities and STEM classes. The teachers get to know kids well, and the kids are incredibly well spoken and poised as a whole. College admissions this past year were excellent with about 25% attending Ivies, UChicago, NW, CalTech, etc.

The one complaint about Maret that I think is legit, but haven't heard it so far, is that [b]the school is very small and can feel stifling[/b] for some kids. It can be hard to break into groups who have been together since Kindergarten.

Overall, however , it's an amazing school. Ignore all the haters, OP.[/quote]

That's the death knell for me.[/quote]
