[quote=Anonymous]Most of our social connections while our DD was at SR came out of interactions related to her sports. If you start in US and your DD isn’t sporty, it may be very difficult to connect with other parents. That’s not necessarily a dig on SR as I think that’s the case for high schools generally.

Re the comment above about the quality of coaches, I would say that we had no issues there, but obviously some are stronger than others.  I recognize how difficult it is to find skilled coaches who are willing to work for peanuts and who are available at the times needed because you aren’t making a living coaching X sport at a private school (ie you have another job!). We saw some eyebrow raising behavior from parents directed at coaches that I believe was swept under the rug by the AD. Saw a bit of that unsavory parent/sports behavior at DS’s school, but the AD’s response was firm and noticeable.

Our DD’s experience sounds similar to PP socially and academically. She found her people slowly because of Covid hybrid learning arrangements her freshman year, but no major drama with other girls. Academically it was competitive BUT there was quite a range of abilities with some girls taking very demanding course loads and others taking a less strenuous path. [/quote]
