[quote=Anonymous]I just read through this whole thread and don’t know what to think. Different people have different experiences, I get that, but it’s like one group of people is taking about a different school than the other group. I’m interested because my DS started STA this year (MS) after attending a charter in another state for most of his life. We picked STA in part because all the social issues at his previous school were caused by a couple of girls. 2-3 girls did nothing but stir up trouble in ways that I now know are called relational aggression. It wasn’t limited to the girls; the boys seemed to be important pawns in this game. Sending him to a single sex school has eliminated all the social issues we previously dealt with, and we couldn’t be happier. For that reason, I’ve assumed we would send DD to NCS when she hits MS because it would be nice to have them in the same location. But I don’t want DD in a toxic social environment!

Is NCS worse than other all-girls’ schools? Are all-girls’ schools inherently worse for girls on the bullying front than co-ed? Or do the boys in co-ed just provide another reason to bully? I want my DD to fit in but not go along with mean girl behavior. So far, she’s a sweet but opinionated girl. She’s smart but lives for soccer and basketball. She’s always played with her big brother, so she’s tough in that way and not really a girly girl. Is NCS likely to be a good environment for her? [/quote]
