[quote=Anonymous]Sheridan parent here - Sheridan has many strengths, but some incredible weaknesses, e.g., doesn't differentiate instruction, teachers are underpaid and many not experienced.  Unclear whether new head of school - who seems lovely - has the chops to fix the problems.  Time will tell.

When I was selecting between Sheridan, another private, and public, I spoke to many Sheridan parents.  To a person, they all said "it's a warm school but so expensive."  NONE of the parents at the other private complained about the tuition.  I took that as a good sign, that perhaps Sheridan parents are more grounded and aren't independently wealthy.  What I now understand is that the complaint is mostly about the parent questioning the value of a Sheridan education, i.e., am I getting $30,000 plus worth of an academic / social experience per year?

Knowing what I know about Sheridan, I wouldn't pick it again.  And, if it turns out your Maret pick is wrong, and chances are you'll have a great shot of getting a sport at Sheridan.  Most kids stay though 8th grade, spots open all the time (e.g., this year, 3 kids left 3rd, each going to other area private schools).

Good luck![/quote]
