[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This thread has devolved into flat-out crazy, to say "not a single girl" is glad she went there.[/b] DD does not go there (she was strictly looking co-ed) but has several friends from her previous school who do. They are all in upper school now, and spend a lot of time at our house. They actually are quite happy to be there, and no, they are not what I'd consider "mean girls" (which I feel like I'm a pretty good judge of, having been tormented by a certain degree of mean girl behavior as an nerdy teenager myself). I'd say they are certainly mostly extraverts and are very smart kids and hard-working students, but not major athletes, as some have hinted is necessary to "survive" the school. I certainly don't think it is the right school for every girl, but for some girls it's a great place, from everything I see and hear from the girls and their parents. I hope anyone considering it actually visits to see for themselves instead of taking guidance from a bunch of seemingly bitter and scarred for life parents.[/quote]

I agree. I don't have a DD there, but this thread has gone over the edge. I'm sure this school has problems, like every school, but some of the haters seem unhinged.

There are mean girls everywhere. DD's friend at Holton has complained about mean girls there, for example.

On a side note, anyone want to start a betting pool? What's the longest time this thread can go away before the haters/teenagers from rival schools/paid social media manipulators revive it?[/quote]

I don't know how many times I need to point this out but as a former NCS parent I am not a teen, not from a rival school and not paid by anyone.  And the other disgruntled parents are clearly NCS parents to me, [b]I recognize the inside information. [/b] If you haven't been directly involved you really have no basis to say its just like other schools.[/quote]

That's exactly the problem. If there were inside information, the hate would be more credible. Go over these many pages and you will see broadsides and mudslinging, but precious little facts or insider info.[/quote]
