I was there this past year, and I chose it because of its out of town flavor and the less social pressures. I was really happy with my choice; all the girls were super nice and friendly. There was a huge mix of girls in my year from really in townny coming from the tristate area and from out of town( my roommates came from Dallas, Chile!) but even the girls from in town were really friendly. Is say that was what made everything so enjoyable- the friendly atmosphere. Most of the girls were very growth oriented and came from homes with working parents and were familiar with nonjewish books and movies but again very growth oriented. I do not come from a working family yet happened to fit in quite well. It was interesting because the hanhalah was very bias yaakovy with high expectations and a very straight hashkafah but the girls were more open minded in a sense. As far as the academics goes, the school is pretty non academic but there is an honors track and work to be done, but there are many options for girls that struggle with academics. And after all that, I am aware that for this year they are revamping somewhat , idk exactly how much of a transformation will take place, I assume majority of the girls applying are looking at previous years as a reference and the school dynamic will not change all that drastically. I suggest looking into these potential changes. Good luck!
