[quote=Anonymous]The school is only 225 kids. No way are there 30 admin types. There's the head. The lower and upper school heads. Two admissions staffers and two development staffers and the front desk. I wouldn't consider the nurse, the school counselor, the learning specialists, technology specialists or the after school team to be admin as they directly interact with and support students. So maybe you meant non-teachers, but I still think 30 might be a stretch. I'm grateful each of them is there as it's part of what makes the school,special.

I can imagine the any changes at the school might be harder for those who came in under the previous head and signed up for his approach. We came after that and love the current direction. The only thing that's bizarre is the hermetic seal surrounding the previous head's departure. That's a little weird. But the curriculum, the warmth, the energy, is everything we wanted. I feel like we are fortunate to be part of one of the strongest lower school programs out there. I am hopeful that our middle school experience will also be strong.  I'm excited to see what the head will bring to that program.

I also take some comfort in knowing that the outplacement team only handles 24 kids and that means every kid is known and there's little possibility that anyone will be overlooked or left behind.

For the class of 2013 college admissions, I've heard of two: Yale and Penn. I think each year varies and as others noted getting into some schools is getting more and more competitive.
