[quote=Anonymous]I am a PP with a child in LS.  The school is challenging but warm and supportive.  Meets each child, I believe, st his or her level, with some pretty precise solutions for a variety of kids.  Gets more challenging as the students move ahead.  Friends with kids in MS, IS, and US have similar feedback -- high achievers have great opportunities and are challnged and helped to grow.  Middle of the pack are also challenged but without a sense that everyone must be striving to be number one.  Greats arts program, good (to great) athletic opportunities.  Seems to put out well rounded students with a lot of poise.  In LS, they encourage public speaking and participation and I can already see a change in my kid's confidence.

Lots of families who have lots of choices (i.e. notable names, plenty of money and influence outside of the school community) seem to be choosing it, so I doubt it is the slackerville some want to portray it to be. I guess it is fine if some "Big 3" proponents think it is a lesser institution, but those wo do seem pretty uninformed. [/quote]
