[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why Hewitt only? If you’re interested in a girls’ school, I would expand the search, and consider at least Nightingale and Chapin, but maybe all of them. Hewitt is not “low key” if that’s your goal the way the k-8 UWS schools are, it’s just much easier to get in to (because it’s historically not as strong academically. Also they’re in their third head of school since I’ve been paying attention, which seems high to me.)
Basis IS kind of a low key k-8, in its own way, so maybe just take a look?
Parents league does a big kindergarten fair, which I highly recommend to help you make a big list. [/quote]

OP here: We have family friends currently at Hewitt, and they rave about it. Noted on the historical perception, but we don't put much weight on that. 
Added Basis- thank you! 
Just joined the parents league newsletter- trying to decide if membership is worth it. [/quote]

the commute to the girls schools could be tough.  The have good academic rigor.  Diversity is a mixed bag.  I think Nightingale and Hewitt are more white.

S/C/B have lots of POC - but i think a fair bit of that is Asian.[/quote]

Aren't S/C/B known pressure cookers? Regardless, they don't seem in line with the list OP is curating. [/quote]
