[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did the girls who were bullied end up, specifically?   We have one DD at SR and thinking of sending the other there as well but she is being bullied at her current school. So in all seriousness, what schools are better?[/quote]

We are catholic but ended up sending our dd to a non catholic co-ed school and it has been much better.  I think there is something about the co-ed environment that made it better for her and less focused on cliques. .  In terms of SR specifically -  When she was bullied at SR, yes the administration had conversations with us and appeared empathetic at a surface level, but nothing ever happened.  They also sounded incredulous even presented with black and white facts, trail.  If I presented the same level of detailed facts, written trail to a corporate ethics person / HR  it would never be dismissed as impossible.  I just got the impression they don’t want to tackle tough issues.  [/quote]

Yes some girls do better in coed even though research shows overall that girls do better in single sex schools. I am sorry to hear they did not respond well to bullying issue. Unfortunately, that has been experience at other private schools as well. I wish they would institute zero tolerance for bullying policies and impose strict immediate penalties for girls who bully (suspension followed by expulsion if it continues). [/quote]
