[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is wrong on Field. Number of students is down from prior years. Many got in off wait list. College acceptances were meh this year and there is a prior thread on the recent turnover issues. Some families are very happy. Others not so. As is the case with any school. They are going through significantly rocky times. And have been. Not exactly a a secret. [/quote]

No, I'm not wrong. And the only thing you said that is fair is that every school has unhappy families. But your characterization that "some at Field are very happy- others not so" is either insincere or uninformed. Field is in excellent shape. Staff turnover was minuscule last summer and this summer, and the previous thread you have referenced on this is complete BS. The school is fully enrolled. The wait list did not move this year.  In fact, last  year and this year over 90% of the 8th graders are choosing to stay for the high school, and the middle school is expanding. The school runs impressive budget surpluses each year. They are clearly not having enrollment issues. Meanwhile, tuition increases have been low to moderate compared to other DMV schools since the no-longer-new HoS took over four years ago.  College results were terrific (not meh) again this year. Columbia, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Tulane, and Rice to lead the way, with many other wonderful "right fit" and prestigious universities on the list. The kids, their parents, and the whole school community has a lot to be proud of.  The new science classrooms of last summer are state of the art and this summer's total refurbishment of an entire building is another exciting step forward for the school. This doesn't feel like rocky times to me.[/quote]
