My friends who have Math or STEM oriented daughters are not happy at Brearley. They don’t push those girls or seek out outside opportunities for them.

[quote=Anonymous]I agree Spence outcomes are excellent. I am impressed they actually send students to MIT (I know it’s only 1 girl per year but Brearley hasn’t sent anyone over past 5 years). [/quote][/quote]
Interesting, I thought about 1/4 of the class gets to enroll in advanced math which is supposed to be pretty strong? On science and tech I heard these complaints from friends as well (which is one of the reasons DD chose HM over Brearley).[/quote]

That's not actually true about no recent MIT, and that's kind of noise anyway when you do have grads studying STEM at comparable places like Harvard, CalTech etc.  - who knows what choices they made, including ED etc.

My DD was in the advanced math class, but by high school the truly advanced students were off in another stratosphere.  Maybe HM is doing even more.

But I do also agree it's the humanities and all around education that defines a school like Brearley, plus the culture of the school if it fits.  I feel like strong STEM is less unique, including at the competitive public schools, but if that's the main criterion and one doesn't care about the other factors, then quite likely other places are doing more.
