Are you insane? Holton did better than almost any private school in the area this year.

Wow. That’s seriously impressive. I have zero connection to Holton, but I do have a daughter currently at a K-8. I’d love for her to go to Holton for high school, if she’s interested in it when the time comes.

Can't think of a single set of criteria that would produce this ranking.

The kids on this site really don’t need this garbage, op.


Umm, you do realize that kids aren't hanging out on this site?? It's just full of middle aged moms with thinning hair, Starbucks coffee-stained teeth, bursting out of their yoga pants while typing away on their rose gold Mac book airs.

But I can honestly say if I could go back and undo a decision we made with her as her parents, I would NEVER have sent her to Madeira. The school makes it very obvious to other students who is on aid and who is not by doing "team building" exercises that makes them reveal this. One such activity involved making bracelets with beads that represented things about yourself, one of which was financial standing. If a school is going to accept girls on financial aid, they need to do everything that can to help these girls fit in, not shame them! Needless to say, when we dropped our daughter off as a freshman she was mentally fine and by the time she left, she had experienced so much bullying and stress that she is now left with some permanent health issues due to the stress she endured.

The school allowed our daughter to finish her one remaining graduation requirement at a local college and she received a Madeira diploma, but was not allowed to graduate (despite the fact she attended the school for 3 years as a boarder). Apparently, it seems, they have failed to include her from their alumni activities because they have never put her on the email list despite our asking to have her added repeatedly. And although this sounds petty, they won't give her the alumni mug that all graduates get!

This school has a very weird culture. It it "over the top" PC! At Christmastime, girls are NOT allowed to wear Santa hats, Christmas socks, sing Christmas songs, or do anything remotely referring to Christmas. BUT, their Winterfest or whatever it was called had songs and celebrations from other religions. Doesn't seem right to disallow some and allow others. Additionally, being that it was an all-girls' school created a weird environment as well.

Honestly, I could go on and on about why I would NOT send my daughter to this school, but it would take too much energy and thought to recall it all. The only good thing about the school were the 5-week experiences from Capitol Hill to working at the Kilmer Center.



That's awful. I'm sorry.

We moved from private to a good public partly for this reason. The class divide can be toxic. It's not like any of these kids did anything to earn their money, but they will seize on family wealth disparities by middle school. And then you're in or out. To have schools abetting that is unconscionable.

There's definitely someone trolling with random baseless Holton attacks.

You sound like the poster who continues to say that bullies is the new sidwell. Please …that list is so off you don’t even sound reasonable. Without a doubt it’s ncs and then Holton. Everyone else can fight out the other spaces. .


The PP is trolling and you swallowed the bait, complete with the hook, the line and the sinker.

Why are people here so insecure?
