I like the school It's pretty good. This is my first year as a sophmore and coming in everyone was very accepting and nice. I would say this school has a great culture and community. It's very pretty too and the teachers are nice and formative. The workload isn't as pressure as the other schools.

Pomfret is a pretty great high school, severely lacking in the arts above all else. Strong academic programming, but if you get stuck with a teacher you don't like, you're absolutely and royally screwed. Sports are mandatory, but if you know what you like, it's not an issue. Campus is absolutely locked down tight the majority of the time, overall a little too safe to the point where it's annoying for boarding students to have a good time in any way.

My experience at Pomfret was extraordinary. The campus is gorgeous, the teachers care and push students, and the entire school is super engaged. One of the top boarding schools in the Northeast.

My son started as a freshman and is now a junior and has had a very good experience at Pomfret. In our 3 years there, we have found the environment to be extremely welcoming and friendly. You get the impression at Pomfret (and my son confirms this), that everyone knows each other and that the studen...
