[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in 9th at an area girls school (since we are not naming schools, I will just call them the Gators). It has not been at all what we were hoping. She loved her visitation day and felt the girls were so nice. Now, at school, the cliques are terrible. She does have a few nice friends, but they are left out of everything else. And the moms are even worse. We are still figuring out what to do about next year. I really regret sending her.[/quote]

OP here. We are at the same school. Gators. She’s been there a long time, had a really good group of friends, but lately it’s just been cliquish and unkindness. What’s really coming out is that we have basically raised our kids to be compassionate and empathetic people but the other parents have raised their kids to be so competitive, it’s a real win at all costs attitude. She still has some good friends, but the hurt feelings of broken friendships without explanation and being excluded has worn her down. We are trying to figure out what to do for next year too, which is why I posted the original post. We can’t go to Madeira, it’s a million miles from us in Bethesda. [/quote]

Why don't you just say Stoneridge? Any of the area Catholics are going to be more diverse and bigger, so you have a larger group of kids/interests. Look at AHC if you want single sex. Good Counsel or SJC if you want co-ed. I've sent 3 kids through SJC and have known a few kids to transfer in for 10th grade. They all made friends and enjoyed their SJC experience as transfers.[/quote]
