[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you have heard an NCS alum say they would choose Holton.  I know several NCS students who would never choose the school for their own daughters.  [/quote]

I am an NCS alum who sends her daughter to NCS and is thrilled with the education she is receiving.  I believe it is a better place than when i was there and I know many other alums whose daughters currently attend.  There seems to be a feeling on the part of some Holton parents that they need to tear down NCS in order to promote their school.  This is silly -- they are both good schools and I don't begrudge someone choosing Holton instead of NCS.  [/quote]

I wrote the first quote and am not a Holton parent. I am sure as an NCS alum you are a good cheerleader for the school and you must realize many of us know who the alums are and are quiet around you.  I think it is a good school academically but it is limited.  The administration has some serious problems with their attitudes towards students and parents.  If you are not having these discussions, you are in the minority.  The school does not embrace individuality, leadership or risk taking.   Academics are very good almost anywhere at the top public and privates.

And as for " many other alums whose daughters currently attend" I don't believe that is the case.  I would bet there are only a couple to a few per grade if that many.  So please do not act as though you speak for large percentage of the population.
