I was hoping to get some input from anyone who has any insight into these two schools. We are trying to make an enrollment decision. By way of background - we are generally familiar with the schools in the ISL, as we had two older siblings attend another ISL school. We also know several families that have sent their daughters to Newton Country Day and have a generally favorable impression. Our daughter is fairly athletic and plays a sport each season but is in no way a superstar. She also enjoys singing. We understand the obvious differences in the schools, what I am interested in hearing about are people’s opinions regarding the relative quality of the schools academically, what the social scene is like and how competitive the athletics are. How do people view these schools stand-alone and in relation with each other? Feel free to direct message me with any thoughts as well.
Athletically there’s no real comparison. Rivers has excellent girls teams. Newton does not. Totally different league. What sport is your daughter interested in and is she a good athlete or just hoping to have fun? You can see their records online in order to compare.
