The falling enrollment between 2018 and 2019 could possibly be attributed to their "Should white boys still  be allowed to talk?"  guest piece in the school newspaper in February 2019.   I know I would never pay for my kids to go there, specifically because of that.[/quote]

Literally every school has fringe students. [/quote]

We toured and thought it look like the least fringe or alternative school we visited. Almost every female student looked like she probably played a sport and wore Uggs to high school. [/quote]

That is so odd; that is the exact opposite experience we had. The students seemed "quirky" the day we went. We loved the campus (minus the dining situation) and the town, but getting a read on the students was hard. Our tour guide was kind of a no-nonsense type of student. She was a good tour guide but didn't seem particularly excited about the school. She was not in many clubs but was a serious student. The location is excellent. It's closer to DC than many of the VA schools. When we toured, they had just picked a new president. I know our tour guide was disappointed that the other president was leaving.

I did a quick search, and it looks like improvements are coming to the dining situation: https://thedickinsonian.com/news/2023/02/06/50-million-hub-renovation-to-be-largest-capital-project-in-dickinson-history.
