I always thought this, too. My friend's daughter went there and she is very sweet, but maybe not the brightest.

This is not true. They have always been known that they know their girls well and support them. Don’t confuse this. It is not known as pressure cooker but interesting that everyone looks at the outplacement here. Nice school though. I think parents definitely track at the super competitive schools so an outplacement year that seems not competitive get the attention of parents right down to k.
It IS true. Most girls don't have to use the services, but many do. They have a learning center dedicated to helping students who are struggling. It is lovely, and if I had a child who needed that, I would 100% consider this school.

Our daughter's academic experience at Holy Child was on par or slightly better than our sons at SAAS and Gonzaga. It is a smallish school with a great culture that welcomes diversity, despite its overall affluence and Catholic focus. Our daughter graduated from a top 50 private college and now attends a top 20 law school.

We are very happy at HC, and I think girls can be academically challenged without being stressed. Warm, nurturing, fun school.

According to Niche:
It is very white...about 75% white.
On the other hand, SR is 63% white and VISI is 65% white.

Many girls want to attend smaller Catholic colleges, but then go on to amazing graduate schools (like the previous poster said) and incredibly interesting work.
For example, the alumna of the year this year is theMedical Director for The Rales Health Center at KIPP Baltimore and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at John’s Hopkins University School of Medicine. And another alum from the same general time period was on the cover of Inc Magazine’s “female founders” issue this April.
If all you are interested in your daughter attending an Ivy than Holy Child isn’t the right place. Not because the girls aren’t smart, but because the school encourages girls to try all sorts of activities and take risks and be happy, which results in great careers, but not always top whatever colleges.
What did you do now? Where did you go to college? Or grad school? What tier schools?

But did you choose them? No. Exactly.
