    So everyone who comments for this school on Yelp is either a kid who's probably flunking their…read moretests or a mom getting angry, so let me clear this up for the parents who are worried: this school is actually really good, speaking from experience. The teachers are super nice in Middle School, can't say the same for Elementary though, and the high school teachers are pretty strict but still kind-hearted. The education is pretty top-tier, and kids who go to this school probably have higher chances of getting into Ivy League schools. Sure, the food isn't that good, but it's decent and edible, and the same thing you'll find at any public school. They give us a lot of homework, which, I'll be honest, made me crash out at the start, but I've gotten used to it, and it's actually made me more open-minded and active. The uniforms are a bit expensive but the material is super nice, lasts long, and looks super classy. The school has a vast community of scholars from various communities and ethnicities, and everyone is so accepting and nice! Sure, there are some unpleasant kids, but name one school where there isn't. The teachers really care about their students, and the school nurse is super professional and friendly. Overall, I'd say it's a pretty decent school. Better than public school, that's for sure! (I took time out of my day to write this, and I think the way I wrote it should give you a little first impression on how writing class influenced me.)

    I attended this school for 13 years, from my first day in Prima to graduation. It is the only…read moreschool I ever knew, and because of that, I feel I can offer a perspective that balances both the praise and criticism found in many reviews. This has always been a demanding school. Its purpose is to prepare students for college, and that preparation begins long before high school. For some students and families, that level of rigor can feel overwhelming. However, I have also seen tremendous growth occur when both students and parents commit themselves to the challenge. There often comes a point where students either learn to thrive within those expectations or struggle to keep pace. The potential for growth is there, but it requires effort from everyone involved. That said, rigor alone does not make a school perfect. My least favorite period was Logic (middle school). During those years, I often felt less like an individual and more like a number. The environment sometimes felt focused on monitoring, correcting, and containing students rather than understanding them. Discipline was extremely strict--even something as small as chewing gum in class was prohibited--yet Logic was still the least well-behaved division in my experience. While the curriculum was strong and prepared students well for high school, it was also the least enjoyable stage of my education. Rhetoric (high school) felt like a more refined, though sometimes stranger, version of Logic. Freshmen and sophomores were often treated similarly to middle school students, while juniors and seniors were given considerably more freedom. In my graduating class, nearly everyone already knew each other, which made it difficult to form new friendships. I also noticed a sharp difference in how students were treated as they got older. Students who were trusted more often behaved better, while those who felt heavily policed tended to push back. That dynamic sometimes created tension between grade levels. As for special education services, my experience varied depending on the year. During my time at the school, education as a whole was experiencing significant staffing challenges, and several teachers either left or were removed from their positions. My experiences in Grammar and Rhetoric were very positive, while Logic was more turbulent. The staff members I worked with were caring people with good intentions. While I cannot speak for every student's experience, my needs in high school were met and often exceeded. Overall, this is a strong school. If your primary goal is a rigorous education that prepares students well for college, it delivers. However, the social environment can sometimes create unnecessary stress for students who are already facing significant academic demands. It is neither a perfect school nor a deeply flawed one. More than anything, it is a lifestyle choice--a decision about how you want your children to be educated and influenced during the years when you are not around.

    I took my kids here for haircuts and was really pleased with the price and the result!…read more Kids haircut range between $14-18, based on the level of the student doing the haircut. This is a very reasonable price considering they wash, cut, and style the hair. The only thing I didn't like was that parents can't sit anywhere near your children while they are getting a haircut, they make you wait in the waiting room. I understand why they do it because their haircutting floor is very crowded. I'm just glad my kids don't get upset that they were back there without me.

    HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Service. I got a simple blowout for $31. They told me it would take an hour. I…read morehad prom that day. I took them an hour and an extra 50 minutes on top of that. The stage 3 student, Julia, kept repeating how my hair is too thick. Yet, at any other place I have never faced an issue. Even when i'd get much cheaper blowouts at this local salon before I moved here from NYC. On top of this, Julia was extremely rude. I told her it's been more than an hour and she said it'll only take an hour. She looks at me point blank saying, "There's nothing I can do. This is a school." They had to bring in another lady to do the other half of my hair. When I went home, my blowout had been completely undone. I wish to get a refund to be honest. Please, mothers, other girls, do not go here. Just pay the big bucks and go to another place. Julia also kept inappropriately sharing about her personal life with me whilst washing my hair. I felt really discriminatory and racist vibes throughout this whole experience as a melanated POC woman.

    They are absolutely awesome! I have been going there for about 3 or 4 years. I mentioned to them…read moreabout having severe PTSD and cannot tolerate pain whatsoever. They made sure and did excellent job with numbing gel and Novacane. They told me that if at any point whatsoever that I feel uncomfortable, they will be more than happy to take a brief time out and also do more numbing. I found that the people who do my cleaning where senior students who were getting closer to graduation. In my opinion, you could tell that they really cared a lot about doing a great job. If they don't do a great job, they don't get good grades or graduate. And they are closely monitored by Senior dentists with a ton of experience. And even though Senior dentist have a fantastic bedside manner, if you will. One of the senior students was Gretchen. I'm sure she'll be graduating soon and you may not be able to schedule her. However, I continually told Senior staff that she did a stellar job of keeping me calm, keeping me from a feeling any pain, and doing a superb job with the cleaning itself. I also had Dr Li do a root canal on one of my front teeth. It was a tricky problem. He tried twice from the bottom and it did not work. So, we had to go from the top (through the gums) into the tooth, doing a root canal that way. I was completely and utterly terrified that I would be in horrific pain. He and his assisting staff made me unmeasurably calm and relaxed, and I did not feel a single thing of pain the entire time. I can only tell you that I have had an absolutely fabulous experience from cleaning, to having surgery, their bedside manner, professionalism, and all things in between. Do NOTE: they do not have the nitrous oxide gas at the school. I'm not sure exactly why but you should know this. HOWEVER - you should also know that I almost did not go there because I have always required having gas with my severe PTSD. I am certainly glad that I did choose to go there, because they did an absolutely amazing job in helping me feel calm, and I was being professionally cared for buy a very positive and friendly staff. I cannot recommend them enough.
