[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, we've applied to HTS and are very interested, but of course it's hard to get a feel for the school over Zoom. Could you please explain/elaborate on wht the parents are a "mixed bag"?[/quote]

I’m a NP but will bite. Another poster in this thread described parents as obnoxious. I’d say there is a lot of surface friendliness - you’ll get people smiling and telling you how welcoming the school is. But then you realize that there is a pretty gossipy and clique-ish mom culture. Obviously it’s not everyone - there are families from all over. But there’s a strong inner circle vibe. If you feel like you’d be “in” the circle, or if you won’t mind feeling “outside”, then you’ll be ok.

The following sounds snarky, but it is meant kindly, with no disrespect at all to HTS

If you were meant for the inner circle, you’d already know it, and likely you would not need to post here.  [/quote]

To the PP who asked, the reply above is a great example of the vibe at HTS. “My snark and judgement are meant in the kindest way!” [/quote]

Oh my gosh, no! We were *not* inner circle at all, quite the opposite.

Totally not inner circle, just hoping others can profit from my experience.  Ie if you go in expecting fellow parents will be your best friends/soul mates forever, well, that might happen.  Or it might not.

If you’re willing to focus on your child’s academic and social experiences, that might be more realistic.

Again,  apologies to any and all I offended.  I can definitely see how my post might have been misconstrued.

Appreciate you clarifying! I’m the PP who said I would bite on this Q.  I think the thing families should know is that there IS an inner circle at the school. That is probably true at all schools but in certain grades at HTS it is felt more than others. That’s not the kind of thing that really bothers me, which is why we are fine keeping our kids there regardless, but if it’s the kind of thing that would bother you as part of the community, then I think it’s important that you know that.
