Anecdotal "evidence"....

So how does one go about determining the “general reputation” of any given school? The brochures are all lovely, everyone is happy, smiling, and drug-free. I know I can search on this site for the school name and read the individual posts, but sometimes I find that a bit tedious as there are about 20 pages in each search listing every post about accepted/waitlisted/denied.

Are there other web sites which discuss life at boarding school?

I am comfortable with one of the schools my daughter is applying to - because we have had several meetings with them and a lengthy campus tour. The other school we will not be able to visit at this point (scheduling issues). On paper it looks fine, but we all know there are other intangible things about each school that could have bearing on life at school.

I am not asking about the so-called “tier I” schools. There is plenty out there on that… just wondering if my fellow CC’ers had any other sources they care to share!

Happy New Year!
