[quote=Anonymous]Many of these places go through cycles. Like companies. They build up a great reputation during the good times. Then they get sloppy and ride off their reputation (and ease with which they can fill places and command high tuition). Then you get to a point where it is just considered the “best” and the “pipeline to XYZ brand name school”, the administration starts to run the school with less and less regard for (plentiful) customers and eventually with deteriorating oversight (parents become scared to push back - “just grit your teeth and get that recommendation letter”) and then bad things start to happen - school expands in response to demand, teacher quality declines, teacher agenda (“liberal” as described above) takes over, and eventually worse things can happen. The 100-year reputation is built up over prior (good) decades. You are not sending your kid there in the 90’s or 2000’s - you should be evaluating what you think of it today. Above all trust your gut on the visit. And be careful what you read on these forums - any dissent is met with several immediate posts of over-the-top rebuttal, which likely suggests a well-paid PR firm working overtime, or a group of parents for who are too brainwashed and clouded to see the forest from the trees - or more likely, both.
