[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are joining SR in this year. I am reading these comments with interest.  I don't discount any of them.

But I do know that the SR applications are through the roof.

How do you know that these issues are just typical private school issues (not saying that is good).

Every school has its rap.

Holton -- joyless
Visitation -- very clichy and supports the stars, and the rest fend for themselves.

I am sure these reps are not deserved.

We have had kids at different private schools.  Schools, like companies, organizations, have a culture - and for private schools, there are different elements of the culture: students, administration, teachers, parents, coaches.  If you have friends you can trust, try to learn about the culture of the school - so you have less surprises. No school is ever a 100 percent perfect  for every single family.   Some aspects of a school, you may not like.  Its always easier to navigate if you know what you are dealing with.  Its often when you have a  challenge that you will really feel the culture of the school - either positive or negative.

We do have a kid at SR.  I understand the elements of the reputation that are on the threads as witnessed this happen to close friends..  Its a good, but not a perfect school, but is strong on so many areas.  I continue to see signs that they are addressing different elements - including recently a independent survey on the school including culture. Being a K-12, its reputation (and enrollment) varies by division greatly with increasing / record enrollment as you get closer to the Upper school. The Upper School is the strongest division by far.   It can be a fantastic experience for your daughter and wish you the best.[/quote]
