[quote=Anonymous]I have a daughter at both Holton and Stone Ridge actually so I know both schools very well.  Holton is definitely more academically challenging and is more supportive of the arts (huge theater, black box theater etc).  Stone Ridge puts more focus on athletics and is building a huge new turf field complex this summer, which is great. I think Holton tends to be more diverse in terms of it's student body with girls from all races, religions and economic backgrounds represented.  Stone Ridge is Catholic so most people are at least Christian and it tends to be more of the preppy, athletic nice girls and less of the artsy types.  Both have nice communities and Stone Ridge in particular is very warm (great head of school and staff).  Holton is a place where girls are empowered to be successful but nobody is going to hand it to you - they want the girls to articulate everything they want instead of parents doing so, which is why they graduate girls who are strong leaders.

Bottom line is that SR (in my opinion) is not as difficult academically but it's a great community and still very strong in the overall program.  Holton is the place you should go if you're a driven girl who wants to make her own way and isn't afraid to stand up for yourself to get it.  Both can be fun, just depends on what you think is fun.[/quote]
