We pulled my daughter out mid year freshman year last fall (2023/24). She found the school unbearable and certain girls were bullies while others were just freaks.

I went here in the 80s and it was a much better experience than my daughter who is a freshman is having. School is oblivious to the needs of their student body. The headmistress is more interested in implementing her woke ideology than the actual academic and social successes. They allow an incredibly narcissistic and entitled mob to infect the atmosphere. I've seen horrific posts on Snapchat from girls to other girls. While my daughter is neither a target nor perpetrator she shows me what is written and she said the teachers know but do absolutely nothing to discipline the offenders. If I had a chance to do it all again I would never allow my child to walk through those doors.

I go here now and it's ok. Girls are cliquey , you have to spend the summer in Avalon or they ignore you. Even the moms are this way. Classes are average but teachers don't pay attention to the bullying going on. I have my group of friends but they get picked on a lot. If you have a daughter who is into art and stuff she will be treated like an outcast

I can truly call it home! The atmosphere is incredible and the teachers wonderful! My only complaint is the tuition, over $19,000 per year, as well as the new administration who are ruining the school.
