[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got in but decided to go elsewhere. We did not want our daughter to experience the social culture which students report is full of mean girls/moms. Plus we were concerned about the emphasis on the extreme athletic culture. BTW it had nothing to do with ability- our daughter is an outstanding athlete. [/quote] this is similar to our takeaway about our experience. I can't really speak on the social culture piece. Yes, SR is known for its strong Athletics program, but we want to pay for a place where academics are seen as a priority. From the experience at the open house, and taking time to examine the curriculum in the US, it didn't seem like it would be a good fit. It may work better for others, and that's the beauty about being able to choose a private school. I know they've been mentioning the STEM building that is coming in a few years, but there are no robotics, research, or truly advanced offerings that would challenge DD. [/quote]
